The purpose of this project is to develop an in-depth proposal and execution plan for an event.  You will have the opportunity to develop and demonstrate your understanding of the concepts, principles, and practices of event planning, mangement, and evaluation.  You will use your ability to synthesize and think critically and your ability to present ideas effectively.  To complete this project, you will work in a group of 3-4 individuals (number in each group will depend on final class enrollment) as an event management company.  You need to create a company name and titles for each member. 

SCENARIO:  In recent months, the City Council of Hartford, CT (or any city of your choice) has expressed interest in making Hartford a stronger destination for a variety of sporting events.  Therefore, they established a Committee on Sporting & Special Events, which met for the first time recently.  The committee decided they needed to host a major event that would put Hartford on the map and help change the citys image.  In order to accomplish this task, the committee chair recently sent a letter to several local event management companies requesting that each company submit a proposal for a new event that would help the committee reach their goals.  The event must be comprehensive in nature and include a variety of activities outside the core product, such as workshops, parade, awards banquet, etc.  The committee wants this to be an event the participants and/or spectators remember for a long time.  Your event management company is planning to submit a proposal, which should include the following information (at a minimum and not necessarily in this order): 

  1. Event Description proposed event and all associated activities
