Event Planning: Defining and identifying Event Goals and Objectives


Good event planning requires you to know up front what you’re trying to accomplish.
Otherwise, why have the event in the first place? Clearly-defined goals and objectives
help keep you on target throughout the event planning process. They also help you
avoid wasting resources, since every decision you make and every money you spend
relates back to your guiding purpose and helps you reach your goals and objectives

Starting to Define Event Goals & Objectives


Before you begin crafting your specific goals and objectives, spend some time
considering your purpose. Your purpose is the big-picture objective that should guide
all of your business decisions – these includes you MISSION and VISION.

Example of event organizer’s MISSION statement:


Our Mission
To serve the best to the clients with complete dedication and devotion working from
scratch to create the unique blue print for your entire event, making sure we have all
the details you want to incorporate into the program.
To deliver high-quality production and excellent services retain trust with clients over
the long term.
Our Vision
“TSAT Events” visualizes itself as the first choice of every person when it comes to the
planning of their big day.

Event goals are where you start to get more specific. The best goals support your
purpose. Your objectives create the roadmap to achieving your goals. Objectives are
more specific than goals, and they should be written in detail to define the narrow,
measurable, and tangible results you hope your event will produce.

Example:

Goal: Increase awareness of your brand/business.

Objective: There are lots of ways to measure awareness. One is to keep track of how
often people share or mention your event on social media. Keep tabs on posts from
the event by searching posts at your event location or by encouraging attendees to
use a hashtag for your event. Aim for a certain number of attendee posts at your next
event.

S.M.A.R.T. Objectives Are, Well…Smart


You may have heard of S.M.A.R.T. goals. For the purpose of event planning, we’re
going to talk about S.M.A.R.T. objectives instead of S.M.A.R.T. goals. Remember: Our
event goals are our reasons for hosting an event. Our objectives are how we get there.

Event objectives should be:


S – Specific: What outcome are you aiming for? What’s the deadline? A specific
objective could be “Booking events for the month of February”

M – Measurable: You should measure your objectives with numerical data whenever
possible. For example: “To book at least 20 events this February”

A – Achievable: You want to create objectives that are within reach. Be realistic:
“Book 20 event in one day” might not be achievable. Set objectives that motivate you
to succeed, but don’t set objectives that are impossible to achieve.

R – Relevant: The objective should relate back to your company’s goals. If it doesn’t,
it’s not worth pursuing.

T – Time-bound: Objectives should be time-bound, meaning they have a defined


start and end date so you can measure whether you met your goal during the allotted
time. Creating S.M.A.R.T. objectives that relate back to your organization’s purpose
and goals will keep you on track throughout your entire event planning process, from
venue selection to post-event survey questions.
