The event industry is a fast-paced and exciting industry which
often requires its stakeholders to deal with customers and
suppliers on a moment's notice. In the excitement of organising
an event – be it a music festival, a social gathering or a
sporting tournament – often the eye is on the end product
rather than the mundane world of contracts and legal
requirements.
This can result in some of the most basic aspects of an
engagement being overlooked. How much is this going to cost? When
does that need to be paid? What exactly am I being provided? The
list goes on.
One of the most basic questions which is often overlooked
– and which is the most likely to cause you problems down the
road is the most basic question of all....who exactly am I dealing
with?
