Event stakeholders are all the different entities involved with the event. Event stakeholders include the event organiser itself, government bodies, association, the media, members of/the community, sponsors, event participants, caterers, venue and accommodation providers, and legal and finance people. The event organiser must ensure that all the stakeholders work together effectively so that the event can keep on schedule and on budget. To do this it is important to have a good flow of communication among the stakeholders, and all information needs to be well-documented and filed for action. Collaboration between stakeholders continues even until after the event is over, during the event shutdown period. Debriefing sessions with both event staff and various other stakeholders during this period are important for evaluation and feedback.
