Putting the team together
Events Team
• Whatever your
particular set up, it is
key that you select
the right team with
the relevant skills to
take the event
forward.
Event Manager
• Planning and leadership are closely related.
• The leader, often the event founder, senior manager or perhaps
a Board chairperson, seeks to influence the actions of others to
meet the vision and goals.
• This requires the ability to motivate others, and good
communications skills.

• Steering Group - events that
involve partnership working and
funds are usually overseen by a
‘Steering Group’ often made up of
representatives of the various
partners.
• Sub-groups are created in order
to address and effectively
manage certain issues/areas.

 Event Programme
Regardless of event type, a strong event
programme is essential for success.
When Preparing the Programme,
consider these:
• Elements or components
• what should be incorporated; streamline
• Running time
• Too long makes your event dragging
• As much as possible opening ceremonies should be through in two (2) hours
• Attendees
• Are they old people; young people; professionals? What are their interests?
• Protocol (who speaks first, who introduces who?)
• Limit the speakers; no one should speak after the guest of honor or keynote
speakers piece
• Heraldry and Protocol (what anthem to sing, placement of the flags)
Basic Heraldry
• Flags should be placed on the platform (commanding position)
• Philippine Flag: left of the observer
• Naga City Flag: right of the observer
• Ph Flag should not be smaller than LGU flags
• Ph Flag size should be equal the size of other state flags
• Flags should not touch the ground
• Flags should be clean and in proper state;
