-
Post-Event Review
-
Advertising
-
They were told at the pre-spending meeting that they needed to send advertising over as soon as they could. But that did not happen.
-
Marketing was given to us the week of. They were printing on Monday/Tuesday and their event was on Thursday.
-
-
Logistics
-
Food was organized.
-
Trash and recycling wasn’t great.
-
Manasa already talked to her supervisor about it.
-
-
We did get some responses on post-event survey
-
It did start late
-
It wasn’t clear when it started
-
It looked like they were still setting up while the event had actually started
-
When Alexis left at 4:45, no one was using the microphone and it was unclear that things were happening.
-
-
-
Their time was 3-7 and they went way past 7 PM.
-
Food didn’t happen till 7:30
-
They told people it would happen much sooner than it did.
-
Super long line in the dark.
-
At 8:15, people were still mingling and they were just starting to take down the stage.
-
-
The stage was tiny and it was a little hard to hear the MC and hard to know what was happening next.
-
Based on post-event survey, it was clear that attendees noticed the lack of planning.
-
They didn’t have it posted anywhere, so they must have sent it out some other way.
-
-
The decorations were clearly purchased before we approved them. They purchased everything, even the things we did not fund.
-
-
Content
-
There were some educational signs.
-
Were facts about Ganesha, but didn’t explain much about the event itself.
-
-
For those who did not know what to do, they were not always the most helpful at explaining it.
-
Wasn’t necessarily meant for people who didn’t know much about the event.
-
-
People there looked like they were enjoying themselves.
-
They brought out the floodlights and no one from the actual company was helping them put them together and turn them on.
-
Rockfan did not help. This is a liability.
-
-
Crowd control was an issue at times.
-
Random people were grabbing the microphone.
-
Could be comparable to a mosh pit.
-
-
-
Future Notes
-
Event was important to the people who attended and it was culturally significant, BUT the planning was not done well.
-
Post-event hearing is a must.

-
-
Can we offer tickets/spots at the reception for student orgs who have a connection to the event (ISA, SASA, etc.)?
-
Tickets:
-
Tickets are pretty cheap, so we don’t need to be worried about an empty crowd
-
Not in the same way we have in the past.
-
It would be difficult to choose which student orgs to give tickets to.
-
-
-
Event Brite pricing
-
There are taxes and fees associated with using Event Brite.
-
$2.00 = $3.97
-
Service and processing fees
-
-
If we absorb it, we only get $0.08.
-
Processing fees are different for pre-sale versus at the door.
-
-
Have an at the door price that is more expensive to encourage people to buy tickets ahead of time.
