What is an event? If
I posed this simple question to a classroom, all hands would go up, eagerly
waving at me with multiple answers, all which would be right of course! So why
ask the question? Well, simply because in order to be able to plan and execute
an event properly and purposefully, we should understand the basics.
So what is an event? Dictionary.com describes an event as:
noun
1.
something that happens or is regarded as happening; anoccurrence, especially one of some importance.
2.
the outcome, issue, or result of anything: The venture hadno successful event.
3.
something that occurs in a certain place during a particularinterval of time.
4.
Physics . in relativity, an occurrence that is sharply localizedat a single point in space and instant of time. Compare world point.
5.
Sports . any of the contests in a program made up of onesport or of a number of sports: The broad jump eventfollowed the pole vault.
I would prefer to define it a bit differently. An event can:
Be a celebration of something

Bring light to a cause
Be a gathering of people with similar interests

Who runs events? Again, all hands would be flying up! But
really, who does run events? Most of the time it is friends and family, but
when it comes to professionally run events, one must have certain qualifications.
I will divulge those when we start to learn about the different types of events
and who specifically they are run by.
Any ideas as to how many types of events there are and what
categories they might fall into?
Which type of event is your favourite?
