Event  management  is  particularly  challenging  from  an  operational  viewpoint.  In  many  cases,  events  are  staged  on  sites  where  everything  has  been  set  up  over  a  24-hour  period,  with  all  elements  carefully  .  In  contrast,  many  events  are  years  in  the  planning:  large  convention  bids  are  often  won  five  years  before  the  event  is  held.  For  the  very    bidding  process,  budgets  need  to  be  developed  and  prices  quoted,  requiring  a  good  understanding  of  market,  economic  and  political  trends,  as  well  as  consumer  choices.  This  long-term  view  is  the  basis  of  strategic  management,  which  is  covered  in  Part  1,  and  focuses  on  the  event  concept,  feasibility  of  the  event,  legal  compliance  and  financial  management.  Marketing  is  a  critical    factor  and  other  important  topic  of  this  first  section,  many  events  (sporting,  cultural  and  arts)  involving  long-term  sponsorship    with  key  industry  players.  Relationship  building  is  particularly    since  there  are  so  many  stakeholders  involved  in  events,  including  government  agencies  at  many  levels.  Part  1  will  look  at  all  these  aspects,  including  strategic  risk,  before  moving  on  to  the  second  part  where  operational  planning  and  implementation  will  be  covered  in  detail.
