III. Challenges and Risks

  • Challenges:

    • Slow Ticket Sales: Compared to last year, ticket sales have been slower. Additional promotional strategies are being discussed to reach potential attendees.

    • Vendor Coordination: Communication issues have arisen with multiple vendors. We are scheduling weekly check-ins to ensure all parties are aligned.

  • Risks:

    • Low Attendance: Competing events in the area could impact attendance. We are implementing an outreach plan targeting past attendees, including personalized invitations and incentives for early ticket purchases.

    • Sponsorship Shortfall: If sponsorships do not meet expectations, additional fundraising initiatives may be required. A revised sponsorship package is being developed to attract more local businesses.

  5. Volunteer Coordination: Finalize the volunteer schedule for the event day and conduct a training session on November 1 to ensure all roles are clear.
