Event Operations Planning
Event operations planning involves the comprehensive coordination and management of all logistical, technical and operational elements required to deliver a successful event. This process encompasses everything from venue setup and staffing to safety protocols, transportation and contingency planning. Effective and meticulous planning in this area is essential as it ensures all moving parts of an event run seamlessly, minimising risks and enhancing the experience for attendees, participants and stakeholders.
Working across domestic and international events for over two decades - MI has the technical knowledge to understand the interdependencies required, and the ability to streamline communication, optimise resources and provide strategic direction - ultimately driving consistency, accountability and value across events.
Utilising frameworks and operating plans developed and continuously updated over many years of experience working in strategy and planning across multiple countries and events, we focus on strategic alignment, sophisticated and quick decision making, transparency and agility - no matter what the circumstance, ensuring a seamless execution of any small or large scale event.
