SCENARIO: In recent months, the City Council of Hartford, CT (or any city of your choice) has expressed interest in making Hartford a stronger destination for a variety of sporting events. Therefore, they established a Committee on Sporting & Special Events, which met for the first time recently. The committee decided they needed to host a major event that would put Hartford on the map and help change the city’s image. In order to accomplish this task, the committee chair recently sent a letter to several local event management companies requesting that each company submit a proposal for a new event that would help the committee reach their goals. The event must be comprehensive in nature and include a variety of activities outside the core product, such as workshops, parade, awards banquet, etc. The committee wants this to be an event the participants and/or spectators remember for a long time. Your event management company is planning to submit a proposal, which should include the following information (at a minimum and not necessarily in this order):
Event Description –proposed event and all associated activities
Event Date(s) – identification of the event dates, including why they were selected
