| Campus Events Professional - October 2005 - Full Issue … |
| A Dinner Between Two Basketball Practices By Dan Nelson, CSEP, CMP One of the coolest things about organizing campus events is that you are given the opportunity to do events in places usually unavailable to the general public. But how do you turn a 18,000-seat basketball arena into the right spot for a fundraising campaign kickoff? |
| Understanding and Working with the Media By Heidi Brumbach, CSEP, Imagine Enterprises International Have you ever wondered why some events get incredible media coverage while others that are equally interesting and newsworthy get none? The answer is usually because the first planner or organization (the one whose event got all the free publicity) knew how to work with the media and didn’t wait for the reporters to find the story on their own. |
| ‘Helicopter’ Parents Hover over Special Events, Too Guidelines to help staff work with overinvolved, demanding parents are increasingly becoming a necessity at colleges and universities. Even parts of campus that traditionally don’t work with parents are no longer immune. The key to working with such parents, however, is to treat them as allies, not interlopers. |
| Just When You Thought You’d Seen Everything: Social Events at ISES’s Eventworld 2005 By Robyn Hadden, CSEP I’m from Las Vegas, and I thought I’d seen it all. I didn’t expect to be caught up in the “celebrity” of Hollywood when I visited in August for the special events conference Eventworld 2005. I was wrong. |
| Educational Highlights from Eventworld 2005 By Kathy Nelson, Ph.D., CSEP, CMP, University of Las Vegas-Nevada Educational highlights from the Eventworld 2005 conference included sessions on how to negotiate contracts, land sponsorships, and create high-quality events on small budgets. |
| Group Launches International Event Management Framework A group of event managers from across the globe recently unveiled a framework for understanding the nature of event management. It represents a step toward creating a common, global body of knowledge about event management, which will help event managers worldwide share and study ideas and add to the stature and prestige of the event management industry. |
| Product Showcase: Poker Pro Show PokerProShow is an interactive entertainment experience that capitalizes on the renewed popularity of Texas Hold ’Em. It could work well as part of a casino- or Las Vegas-themed party or as an after-dinner show. |
| Preparing a Successful Grant Proposal By Heidi Brumbach, CSEP, Imagine Enterprises International A proposal is a document that speaks on behalf of its author, answers any questions it might generate, and persuades the reader to agree with the author’s point of view—all in the author’s absence. A proposal is prepared and written in a series of steps. Some steps may be more important than others, but none can be ignored. |
