Experienced Events Professional

Project overview

What will you do

The municipality of Voorne aan Zee wants to help organizers plan and execute events independently and well-prepared. Since the introduction of the Event Policy 2024-2028, organizers are themselves responsible for their events. In practice, it appears that not everyone knows what is needed for this and which municipal rules and procedures apply.

The municipality is therefore looking for an experienced events professional who will investigate, from a practical perspective, the challenges organizers face and how the municipality can better support them.

This involves various organizers, such as professional event organizations, foundations, associations, and local initiators. The events range from large, complex events to small-scale neighborhood parties and local activities.

You will talk to organizers and map out the challenges they face in preparing and organizing events.

You will investigate which municipal procedures, permit requirements, and safety regulations pose questions or bottlenecks in practice.

You will examine the differences between professional organizers and organizations that primarily work with volunteers.

You will discuss your findings with relevant municipal employees and investigate where improvements are possible.

You will translate the experiences gathered into concrete recommendations for supporting organizers and revising the event policy.

You will document your findings in an advice report with practical improvement points and present it to the municipality.

Who are you?

You have at least 5 years of experience in organizing or producing events.

You know from your own experience what is involved in the preparation and execution of events, including permits and safety.

You can accurately assess the practical challenges faced by organizers and translate their experiences into improvement points.

You communicate easily with different parties and can conduct independent research, draw conclusions, and advise.

Experience with municipal processes or event policy is a pré.

Result

After completion, the municipality will have a clear overview of the main bottlenecks experienced by organizers and concrete recommendations to improve support and event policy.
