Pre-Event Preparation
In order to be better prepared for this event, we started planning for the event even before our mini roadshow started, and the four OICs were Shaheerah, Dione, Darren & HaoYi.
With all the EMRS students in all three teams being involved in this event, the OICs also have to plan out the manpower allocation.
Together, we came out with a floor-plan that we feel will best cater to the needs of the students, course managers and the respective PEMS.

Overall, it was a challenging yet interesting event for all those who were involved. With this event, we learnt how to manage large crowds, better utilization of fixtures and also have a better idea of how to plan and manage any future events that may be similar to this.
Through this event, we also came to understand that no matter how hard or how detailed we might have planned for an event, there is no such thing as a perfect plan. Although there were unforeseen circumstances along with some minor hiccups here and there, with the right attitude and guidance from our supervisor, Miss Quek, we managed to put through the event smoothly.
