development of reducing of peace, poverty reduction along with sustainable development and

intercultural dialogue. Next is about business events as the events taking place as the automation

Factors influencing the development of events industry as both global and local level.
The growth and emergence of the events' industry.
Growth and emergence of Event industry.
Event industry is growing at very rapid speed. With the rise of national and international events
consumers behaviour are changing and nor of the people are attending worldwide events. Future
of the events industry seems bright, as events are rising on daily basis seeing the future and
present of vibrant industry (Markle and et.al., 2017).
Events industry is having indispensable growth in having proper organization of varsity of
events. Mega events are currently being recognized as in aspects of professionalism which is
turning to be glamour and exiting profession which needs a high amount of the creativity,
innovation and dedication. There is Turing out to be glamour in existing professions which is
having the graters level of creativity and innovation and decalcification in promotion of events.

There is involvement over event management company in terms of handling events
variety which have inclusion small and large of fund-raising activity, galas, wedding and
conference, exhibitions and major of trade shows (Diffenbaugh and et.al., 2017). The awareness
in increasuing the level of publicity in having increase in demand of events. As there were recent
development in terms of sponsorship, consultation, marketing along with budget reconciliation
and public relations.

Evaluation of key factors of event industry in terms of development, structure and organization
along with role of different events.
There are various level of factor that are having the effects over the event's development
is terms of structures and organization as whole. There is the need for more factors for having
development in certain aspects of development of additional resources to meet the professional
demand. The factors such ass safety and security as the events' industry are taking level of
efforts to have security and level of protection for the attendee. The factors of workforce are
turning out to collating challenges with completion of high level of expectation and according to
different styles (Richards and Colombo, 2017). The next is about the merger and acquisition in
having experience as the trend of the events organizing is not remained as immune. The
consolidation of major players have the specific space over the factor which are effecting the
impacts on event's industry. The last of one factor is advancement of events industry as it is one
of companies which is delivering the maximum ROI. The company is having threat over
different range of solutions by using the artificial intelligence.
Critical evaluation of techniques influencing and shaping global events.
The evaluation of the global event's development can be done through the varsity of
approaches and techniques which can be used for development and proper evaluation's. The
same of techniques is termed as the blanket approach. It is often term as beneficial inn
combining to two or more types of evaluation rather relying on one. Audiences used the best
source of information and have appropriative survey which will give proper indication over the
results of development (Zhang and et.al., 2019). The next is about VOX-POP evaluation which is
termed as opinion regarding specific questions in gain to have response at quick level. The
drawback of this evaluation technique is that they have to plan ahead and gain interest and
generate planning ahead to use the material or data of post events. The next evaluation
techniques for the events i8ndustry can be the survey based evaluation inn terms to gain
feedback which have accurate reflection of opinion of people. This can be done as through
having self evaluation, direct evaluation and organizational survey in having the proper staging
of events in proper ways (Nanni, Ponzetto and Dietz, 2016). On the other hand there can be
more approaches for the event evaluation as term as financial and economic approaches so that
major challenges can be addressed. There should be proper collecting of data and examinable the
major challenges faced.

Review the management strategies responsible for events development.
The management strategies which has been used for the development of events are
balance scorecard (BSC) and the corporate environmental management model (CEM) in events
industry. The balance scorecard have the majorly four perfective for the strategy development
such as financial customer, internal process and development and growth. The map is just the
one which help in identifying the important element. This mapping allows putting event industry
in having development of controlling strategy. There is key performance indicators which will
help in making holistic approaches along with having overall perspectives in making heavy
impact on the process of employees and finances. The balance card in used to have evaluation
over trade fair participation for comparing the balance scorecards (Taqueti and et.al., 2015). The
companies have the responsibility over the events in having proper contribution over sustainable
development as the events' industry is having crucial impact procedures for social and
environmental accountability. The company has to use this managing strategies in to maintain
and gain competitive advantage as the key success of business which turns out to be part for the
sustainable development. Progress towards corporate environmental along with social
responsibility can be increased amount of acceleration through governmental and civil society
actions that create an appropriate policy framework.
Critical Evaluation of Specific Management Strategies.
The balance score card have the most dialogic approach as it is very influential in
measuring the performance management. It is the collection of financial and non financial
measures which have the derived out comes of the in cause-and-effect relationships, and thus
aims to be a feed-forward control system. On the hand there in the application of various
concepts and practice. There are certain level of limitation which definitely undermine the
effectiveness of the BSC or cause firms to abandon the BSC altogether for better performance
measurement alternatives. the balanced scorecard have the majorly four perfective for the
strategy development such as financial customer, internal process and development and growth
(Willard and et.al., 2019). The map is just the one which help in identifying the important
element. This mapping allows putting event industry in having development of controlling
strategy. This helps in the manager by providing the deep level of knowledge to make informed
decisions about long and short-term objectives, internal and external performance, and financial

and operational performance. On the other hand there is maximum level of investment along
with time and having the stakeholders acceptance and usage. This fails in having the formulation
of strategic analysis and metric planning in terms of proper development of event industry.
Finally it has the both positive and negative impact to have proper implementation and strategy
formation which helps in strategic objective along with measuring and targeting the initiatives.
The should be proper evaluation of different strategy in matter in making the development of
events in more successful matter development.
Impact that global events have on the environment and strategies used by the industry to support
responsible event development now and into the future

environment and local communities both positively and negatively. Because of global events
emission of greenhouse gases is increasing continuously. Due to this not only green house gases
are increasing but it is contributing to ozone layer depletion as well. Due high energy
consumption disposable waste is increasing continuously, wastage of water, garbage is also
increasing. Strategies used by the industry to support responsible event development now and
into the future are:
Waste Management
Waste management strategy is one of the most prominent strategy which can be used to
support responsible event development as this strategy will help the organizations to reduce
consumption of disposable waste. Event development team can use better waste management
planning through the event to reduce the waste that can harm the environment. this strategy will
include different procedures and steps which are used in the waste management planning. These
steps are collection of waste, transportation of waste and disposal of waste. All they need to do is
to manage these three operations to minimise its impact on environment.
No Plastic
To reduce the production of plastic Olympic event planning can use plastic free to reduce
the amount of plastic waste. Event planning team can use other materials which are easy to
decompose. This is how they can prevent the pollution to save environment from harm.
