There is a very thin line between event planning and event designing, i.e. event planning is a part or a function of event designing which cumulatively results in giving a face to the event. Event design not only has event planning activities but also takes care of the aesthetics of the event; in general it is about what goes where on the big day.
Implementation- An event is nothing without its purpose and what adds value to the purpose is what will be looked onto in this strategy. Acts, slots, addresses and other entertainment and event details should be in good sense of the reason why the event is to be held or hosted.

Post event duties- Now is when you have to show how responsible you are, the event is over and winding up is all you are left with. Ensure the place is as clean or cleaner then when you had landed up at the venue. Sincerely pay-off the different event vendors and acknowledge them for their contribution to the event. Everyone knows if its hard work it pays off. Communicate with the different media for post event coverage and also do not forget to collect the balance payment from your client. Run through the list of contacts made in the event and go around with conducting activities that give you the outcome and impact of your event.
