TO MAKE YOUR EVENTS BETTER …
Use a Cost – Revenue financial system
Revenues are highly unpredictable
Expenses must be controlled to maximize success
Budgets cannot be made in stone

OK, MARKETING SPONSORSHIP
NOW A LITTLE PX THEORY
What is the most important thing you do for an event?
![Page 28: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT …
the most important thing you should be doing is creating the BEST possible PX
for each and everyone of your stakeholders – especially attendees
![Page 29: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

creating great PX for those stakeholders we call attendees, guests, participants,
visitors

TODAY WE LIVE …
In an experience economy People have their products & services
What they now desire are out of the ordinary, liminal experiences
![Page 31: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
BUT, YOU ASK …
what really is the BEST possible PX
and how do I go about making that happen?
![Page 32: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
WELL, SINCE YOU ASKED …
there are many ideas out there to help you, including such things as
Blue Ocean Strategy
Élan Vital
Kaizen
Flow theory
Turbulence
![Page 33: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
BLUE OCEAN
Informs you to sail away from the bloody red waters of competition and discover the better experiences
![Page 34: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ÉLAN VITAL SUGGESTS …
Embrace “instinct”
Dump the “matter”
![Page 35: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
KAIZEN IS ABOUT QUALITY …
and tells us to “just make it better”
![Page 36: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
FLOW THEORY IS SOMETHING …
you all have probably done by
“being in the zone”
![Page 37: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
AND TURBULENCE, WELL …
can be disturbing as it’s focus is on disruption of space
the velocity, rhythm, friction aspects of movement
disorder arising from order
![Page 38: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
BUT TODAY …
we’ll focus on PX Theory
![Page 39: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
PX THEORY
was discovered by a qualitative research method called participant observation
![Page 40: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
PX THEORY Social capital bonding is strongly evident and easily
recognizable within friend and family groups at community festivals. This heuristic phenomenological type of bonding spreads to peers with shared similarities outside the friend and family group as levels of festivity increase.
Social capital bridging exists between attendees at community festivals, but primarily as a sense of generic communitas at a subconscious hermeneutic phenomenological level which intensifies as levels of festivity increase.
Event manages possessing both the aspiration and knowledge to program quality festive experience have the ability to accentuate the development of both bonding and bridging social capital at community festivals.
![Page 41: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
OR, IN SIMPLE TERMS …
Increased levels of PX at events raises the sense of community among attendees
![Page 42: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
TO UNDERSTAND PX THEORY …
You have to understand festivity and its origins
![Page 43: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
ORIGINALLY FESTIVITY WAS …
Organic
Communal
Spontaneous
Amalgamated with Mythos in celebrating celestial seasons and regeneration of life
A state of being meaningful only unto itself – like PLAY
![Page 44: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
AS CIVILIZATION PROGRESSED …
Festivity became Organized
Emotional participation was surpassed by Logos
In Western culture Festivity logically evolved into an activity with a sense of purpose and reason
800 BCE to 1500 CE controlled by church & state
From 1500 CE forward by capitalism
Changing from active to passive
![Page 45: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
AND SINCE THE 1950’S …
with a new emphasis on public relations, materialism, and technology, festivity morphed into mercantile activity with focus on
Financial gain
Efforts to gain public attention
Festivity became a
Commercial Organism
![Page 46: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
TODAY, FESTIVITY IS …
Rarely focused on PX
Has the time come to return to a more organic form of festivity?
Is a more organic form of festivity the key to producing truly great PX at today’s festivals and events?
Can festivals and events once again be about having fun for the sake of fun … like play?
![Page 47: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
SO, HOW DO WE …
go back to the ancient roots of festivity and create the best PX for those who attend our festivals and events?
![Page 48: Prince Edward Island Festivals and Events January 8, 2015festivalspei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Make-Your-events-Bett… · MAKE YOUR FESTIVALS BETTER Prince Edward Island Festivals](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042123/5e9df5a3b4b06e5eaf5b5d97/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

ORGANIC FESTIVITY WAS …
a Collaboratively Creative Social Activity
Sonic with deep bass and heavy drum beats
Performance … dance, drama
Visual … masks, costumes
