  • Measure Success Against Goals: Evaluate how well the event met the pre-defined goals and objectives. Was the participation good? Were all the activities completed?

Making Adjustments

  • Identify Require Changes: Based on the feedback, identify what needs to change or improve. Prioritise these changes based on their impact on the event.
  • Develop an Action Plan: Create a clear and detailed action plan for making the identified changes. This should include timelines, responsible parties, and resources needed.
  • Implement Changes: Put your action plan into practice. Make sure to monitor the progress and adjust the plan as needed.

Communication of Findings

  • Disseminate Information: Share your findings from the review with key stakeholders, such as the organising committee or funders. This helps everyone understand the outcomes and the way forward.

Planning for the Future
