Handing in your paper

 The Cheeraton Hotel wants to break out of cold and soulless 5 star hotel image, and the grand opening must signal this new image.

 The new hotel is located in the buildings which was used to belong Post Nord. Nearby … everything…

 The management has allocated 800.000 DKK for the event, and your company (Dream Event Unlimited Inc.) is one of the event companies competing to get this job of the client.

Background info

 The Cheeraton Hotel has a Grand Ballroom, which has space for 500 sitting guests. The grand ballroom has 5 bars.

 The hotel has also a restaurant for 300 guests, which functions also as café in day time. This can be used for the event.

 Staff available from the kitchen and bar: 1 chef, 4 sous-chefs, 6 cooks, and and 8 all-round staff, together with 18 waiters and waitresses - all are available for the event. Any additional staff must be paid from the budget of the event.

 Consider above challenges, opportunities, limitations of the location and the buildings, and the company's wishes about the image. Thus, the content of the event (you are going to recommend, plan, and execute) must reflect that you have taken all above information into consideration.

Ressources & Challenges

 Your company Dream Event Unlimited Inc. is a small event company with a good reputation.

 You make a good living by developing event concepts for larger organizations.

 You are a very competent event-maker.  You plan, arrange and execute these events

yourself:  You have 2 employees, apart from yourself.  You hire volunteers, whenever it is possible, and

also lots of freelancers and temps in larger events.

Dream Event Unlimited Inc.

The budget set by the client Cheeraton: 800.000 DKK (excl. VAT) is going to cover all expenses, including your profit.

 It is important that you make a good portion of profit from this event, 20-30 % or more.

 You must also deliver a 1st quality service, so the client is going to be satisfied 100 %. That is to say, the client should get bang for their bucks.

 This is also the reason for you need to use real life prices of the services and goods you are going to buy and/or hire for the event.

 The budget figures must be realistic, with resources stated in the excel file.
