Who was the target customer for this event?.
Every event has to focused for a profit and sucess not just to make it happen. I see many young aged men dominating here in crowd pics, are these your targets for sucessful events?. Did they spend money being at the event?. Do some statistics to know who spends more during the events. 15 to 25 aged male does not spend money like other age group, sex etc.
I see here from many replies children and other ages have been pushed back whereas many event management consultants concentrate for equal or more attraction in event for men and women of all ages who have money, not who show more interest, you really have to focus where money is.
Here its clearly seen how important role event management plays. Yes, true professional help for foreign qaulified donest come cheap but its the correct path to long term sucess for events.
I would recomend in future have qualified event management consultants and teams to organize how its supposed to be done, as its done in other countries.
