COM 370-03 Special Topics: Event Planning

We are currently taking a course in event planning where we learn everything about events from start to finish. Our notes outline various theories and concepts pertaining to events. Perhaps the most useful lesson we have learned is the Six Dimensions to the experience- the 6 A's: anticipation, arrival, atmosphere, appetite, activity, and amenities. Based on this lesson, we have planned and structured our own event. After each class we are able to apply what we have learned to what we are working on with our event. We meet as a group at least once a week prior to class and once every other week outside of class in addition to constant emails and text messages. We use these times to brainstorm, create drafts, and execute plans.
