Two days before the event day (7th Nov), both the
Overall In-Charge went out to buy the necessary items which were needed for the
event such as sweets, chocolates, and balloons etc. On 8th November,
the items needed for the actual event day are being prepared such as blowing of
balloons, packing of goodie bags, and printing & cutting of materials.
After the preparation, a final briefing is done to ensure that the whole team
has a clear understanding on what is needed to be done to make sure that
everything will go well for the actual event.
Event Day
9th Nov: On the event day at 930am, we were split into two different groups to carry out different tasks. Both the OICs went off to fetch the students while the other facilitators went to the logistics room to collect and set up the game stations. Upon fetching the students, we showed the students around SBM to prepare them for the activities. After the tour, the students arrived at the Retail Lab for a short presentation on information about SBM courses, TEP Centers and OSEP. At 10.30am, one of the OICs went on to bring the students down to the North Canteen for their break where food is catered for them. Meanwhile, when the students were at break, the other OICs and the facilitators went to the various game zones to set up game booths. After the break, the OICs briefed the students on the game rules and they proceeded with the activities. After they were done with the activities, the OICs brought them back to the retail lab for a debrief and also played a kahoot quiz held there.

10th Nov: The
event started at 1pm and lasted for a short 30minutes, even though the duration
was short, we tried to make it as interactive as possible and involved all the
students to participate in the activity. Due to time constraint, we held a mini
game whereby students are being formed into groups of 6-7 to guess on a list of
events that has been held in Singapore before. Through this activity, we hope to
introduce and expose them to something that is relatable to events management,
and also to test the students’ knowledge on how much they actually knew about
the types of events that has occurred in Singapore.

Conclusion
Even though the event is pretty small scale, everyone had
fun while also learning about the planning and execution aspect of an event. We
learned about how important the planning stage of an event is and that without
proper planning, we would not have been able to successfully carry out the
event. Along the way, we faced some unexpected problems such as last minute
changes. We kept calm and successfully overcame them. Through this event, we
learned first-hand about the Murphy’s Law; where anything that can go wrong,
will go wrong. In conclusion, everyone did their part well and contributed to
the success of the event while also having fun with the planning and executing
of the event.
