As librarians, we plan programs for our patrons every day, but what about when you've been tasked with planning a large-scale event such as a conference, awards
gala, or a fundraising dinner? Event planning can be a monumental task, but setting goals and planning well in advance are keys to pulling off a successful event.
This course will cover the
roles and expectations of the event planner and the planning process. We will also discuss:
·
Event management
·
Budgeting
·
Evaluation
·
How to be prepared for if or when things go wrong, including tips on moving in-person events to be virtual events
·
Tools that you may utilize during the event planning process
