Task Description:
The assessment task requires the team preparation of an event pitch for a real business/ to be assigned by the teaching team. The event needs to be financially feasible to be successful. Be creative and realistic in creating your event plan!
Working in teams of 6 students, the event pitch must be engaging, comprehensive and include details related to organising, staffing, directing, coordinating, executing, financing, and managing the associated risk at the event.
Teams will be created by the students with assistance from the teaching staff in week 1. Students will work in these groups all semester.
The pitch will be presented to the client and teaching staff at the end of the semester via in-person presentation, and will be 10 to 12 minutes in duration maximum (strictly enforced).
All team members must appear in the presentation.
The presentation will pitch your idea for the special event to representatives from the local business, "the client".
No hard copy report is required but supplementary materials such as site plans, timelines etc. are allowed as handouts with a limit of 10 pages maximum.
Complete details regarding the assessment task will be provided on Blackboard.
Your mark will be based on your individual contribution to the assessment task. Thus, you will be required to complete a peer evaluation at in-semester and the end of the semester. Individual grades will be calculated as the group score (self-rated score included) weighted by the peer evaluation scores.
All students will have an opportunity to practice, and gain feedback on, pitching their ideas via a short, elevator pitch during week 5. The elevator pitch will be 2-3 minutes maximum (strictly enforced). See details the assesment description.
