Format and StructureThe sessions will take the format of an interactive workshop led by Helen Spencer. You are invited to email in your Q&As for the theme of the workshop in advance so we can tailor the content to suit your needs.The programme for the first 5 sessions guides you through the process of project realisation; from ideation to delivery.Pitch Ideation Workshop - September 2024This workshop is a brainstorming session. Please bring your project ideas with you – these could range from events to exhibition proposal. Maybe you will have a couple to choose from. During the workshop, you will be prompted through the process of identifying a viable project and mapping out your concept. By the end of the session, ideally you will have selected your project to flesh out in the next workshop.Pitch Development Workshop - October 2024This workshop helps you decide the outcome of your project. This is an important stage of the process where you flesh out your brainstormed mind map for your concept. By spending time really refining the mission, aims and objectives that have motivated you to host this event or project, will help improve it’s success. Some questions to consider… <ul><li>What event type do you think will align most with your aims and objectives?</li><li>Will it be a talk, workshop or exhibition or performance?</li><li>Who is your target audience?</li><li>Where will it be held?</li><li>Who can you ask to support you in hosting the event?</li><li>What message do you want the audience to leave with</li></ul>By the end of the session, you will know what event type you are working towards to start developing the budget in the next workshop.Budget Development Workshop - November 2024During this workshop, we look through some budgets developed for Adventures in Apparel events. These are the structure and template you can use to develop and refine your own budget. We consider the event production in three different phases – Research &amp; Development, Pre-Production and Production. Also, central to the process is working out your day rate and those of your collaborators and incorporating this into the overall budget.By the end of the session, you will have a working draft of the budget using the template provided to start considering funding and sponsorship in the next workshop. Funding &amp; Sponsorship Workshop - December 2024This session guides you through the process of developing the sponsorship budget and creating tailored packages for different sponsors. You will work through exercises to prompt you in developing the right approach and strategy to securing funding and sponsors from different sectors.By the end of the session, you will have a template for the tiered sponsorship packages for your event to start considering the final stage of delivering the pitch to the client in the last workshop. Pitch Delivery Workshop - January 2025This workshop prepares you for pitching your concept to clients. It will be a combination of presentation and following exercises to prepare your pitch. Then you will informally work in groups to refine the pitch. Please don’t worry, you won’t be asked to present in front of your group, but the value of peer support and feedback is important.By the end of these workshops, you will have a template for your event and should feel confident in the process from ideation to client pitch presentation. The aim is to leave with tangible steps and templates you can use going forwards in developing your event concepts into realised projects. <h4>AiA Business Club - Design Thinking Sessions</h4>We are delighted to introduce the ‘<a href="http://www.adventuresinapparel.co.uk/events" title="http://www.adventuresinapparel.co.uk/events" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Design Thinking Sessions</a>’.
