artcl: Event Planning: Steps to Planning a Successful Event

L: "The key to any good event is brainstorming what will work best."
I: As my second answer says coming up with a timeline prior to six months before the event is important. Brainstorming and going over what is your event and why is happening is very important in order for the planning to be successful.

L: Setting your goals, will help you create a successful event for the clients and guests.
I: setting an end goal to an event is what every event planner should do, that way they know what they are reaching for and are not just going in to do the planning just because it's their job.

L: "Create a timeline outlining the tasks that need to be completed each week leading up to the event including event logistics. Make deadlines for yourself and then meet them."
I: timelines are like the event planner's life for the next 6-12 months, it helps them get everything organized in the way that they won't forget to do something for the event.

artcl: How to Plan a Social Event.

L:"social events make great networking and bonding opportunities, and they come in all types and sizes."
I: Social events are different from corporate events, well the end goal to them is different. With social event an event planner has more freedom to do something creative rather than something more professional. The end goals differ as well, social events' goal is for the guests to interact and enjoy the event.

L: "Keeping things in order and assuring your guests are satisfied is the key ingredient to a fun event."
I: being organized and assuring the guests are satisfied is the key to a successful event, the guests are the judges of how successful the event it so taking encounter what they want and what they're expecting is very important. Such as the entertainment, food and the location is what an event planner has to carefully help the client pick.

L: "take notes on the pros and cons of the event for the improving for next times"
I: evaluating each event is very important , you don't want to repeat something that went wrong on your other event. Avoiding what went wrong in one event to make another better is very important, for example; during asb we evaluate each event we make to make sure next year asb doesn't do the same for the mistakes. It doesn't only help with the cons but with the pros as well, if something was successful then keep doing it.

artcl: Planning a Successful Event in Eight Weeks

L: "eight weeks is sufficient lead-time to for a small event,meaning an event of less than 300-400 people."
I: 2 months is so not enough for an event of 300 or less people, it could happen but in order for time to not be tight at the end planning prior to 6 months at leasts sounds more reasonable.

L: This article is a timeline talking about the steps needing to be taken care of for a corporate event. Since I am doing social events it don't help me as much but the timelines always consist of the same steps.
