Preface: In assigned groups, students will apply the academic theory of this course to simulate the pre-planning and execution of a three-day convention for a selected client.
The Convention
As a group, you are the Event Coordinators for a selected hotel. Your group will work with a client to plan and execute a three-day convention with multiple food and beverage, and meeting components. Your instructor will assign a hotel, client and scenario to your group. You will work from this scenario to plan, organize and execute the convention in your group’s selected hotel.
The Delegates
The scenario provides the number of delegates that are expected to attend the convention for each individual hotel. The convention will be realistic in that it will be for an association that would normally hold conventions. The convention will be constructed and catered to based on the interest, theme and motivation of your delegates, and meet the needs of the association they belong to.
