Description In 2017, I had the honor of speaking on a city panel in Miami about Special Event Production. During that session, I distributed an article I authored titled 12 Best Practices in Event Production. [Click link to read article] Since then our world and industry have changed significantly. Your Challenge: You have been hired to reimagine that very article, now titled "Best Practices in Show Management," with a 2025 perspective. Your task is to create a new article featuring a minimum of 15 new tips updated to align with our current industry landscape. This article should be ready to be published in a media outlet, complete with well-designed visuals, photos, images, etc. Do not turn in essay or college paper format. Act as if you are a hired journalist sending in a complete ready to publish article, blog, or video. Course Content Integration: Draw insights and concepts from any of our Weeks 1 -7 modules, including Show Management Toolkit, Elevator Pitch, Siteplan Use, Vendor List Use, Live Performance, Managing a Theater, Sponsorship & Strategic Partnerships. The resources in these modules should serve as pillars supporting your tips. Beyond Tasks: Go beyond task-oriented best practices. Infuse the article with emotional intelligence tips that would guide your decision-making process on the job. Best Practice Motivations: After each tip, be sure to integrate an example or explanation of what motivated you to choose this best practice. In other words, what made you think of this tip? AI Consideration: While AI has become an inevitable part of our society, we cannot prevent you from using AI tools. If you choose to use AI, remember that you should be the primary author of your article, allowing AI to assist your thinking and creative process rather than taking over. Presentation Formats: You have the creative freedom to present your work in various formats, such as a ready to publish written article with high-quality visuals and images, a presentation, a blog post, a video, or any other compelling medium that effectively conveys your reimagined Best Practices in Show Management for 2025. Do not turn in a standard essay format. Tip: Do not use clip art. Use real photos. The ultimate goal of this challenge is to provide readers with fresh insights, leaving them equipped with newfound Tips of the Trade for excelling in the ever-evolving entertainment and events industry.
