Assessment Description:
Preview Bid Presentation. Students will be required to develop a bid / plan for a proposed event in response to a given brief. The expectation is that the event being proposed and planned would be realised and delivered the following semester in conjunction with the Event Management module. Consequently, the modules: 1. Event Management Planning and, 2. Event Management, are a combined package to be studied. However, only those event bids that are deemed to have potential will be allowed to progress to the Event Management module and be put into practice.

Non-Marked: No
Assessment Description:
Event Bid Presentation. A “Dragon’s Den” scenario is envisaged, whereby students will need to ‘sell’ their event bid to a panel. The intention is that the panel would include some / all of the following: the module lecturer; NCI President; Head of School; NCI Student Union President; any other relevant faculty (e.g. marketing lecturer, etc.), plus external Industry representatives. Events will require funding, and reflecting a ‘real world’ event bidding process, student proposals will be in competition with each other to sell their event bid and secure funding for it. The aim would be for industry representatives and NCI to sponsor successful bids.
