1.1 SYNOPSIS/A BRIEF EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The upcoming conference on PROJECT MANAGEMENT is primarily an educational

conference which will be held in Perth in the month of September 2021. Its duration will be

of two days and the dates will be set in the mid-week of September.

The details are written as follows:

 Target market is corporate/industrial delegates including men and women.

 Two international high-profile keynote speakers to deliver the speech with division of one

per day.

 Four Australian sourced speakers with academic excellence and industrial expertise in

project management.

 At the end of second day, a dinner will be provided along with entertainment.

 Expected 200-300 delegates

A detailed budget has been devised for the said projects with the expenditures of each entity.

The comprehensive costing of each item included has been done using web sources with

references given in the Appendix I. Apart from expenditures, the revenue generation process

and revenue generating item have also been enlisted in both tabular and graphical format. The

costing has been done on monthly basis as well throughout the project life cycle. After

holistic budgeting, costing and revenue analysis, it has been inferred that the project will

bring the required profit margin only in best case scenario of 300 delegates. However, in case

of below capacity ticket sales, the situation can be resulted into a loss. Since the ticket selling

process will begin a few months earlier, it is recommended, not to conduct such conference if

the ticket sales are fewer. This measure is recommended to avert loss. Moreover, the

 HANDS UP IN THE AIR FESTIVAL BUSIINESS CASE

5.0 CONCLUDING REMARKS:

According to the cost estimates and revenue calculations, it is clear that the required profit

margin can be achieved if the tickets will be sold at full capacity of 300. In case of below

capacity ticket selling, it will be difficult to reach the desired profit margin of 15%.

On the revenue side, the estimated revenue calculations show that the revenue will begin six

months earlier to the actual event with maximum value in the month of the event.

Since the ticket selling process will begin a few months earlier to the conference, if the desired

level of sales is not achieved, the cancellation of the conference will be considered as an option

to avert loss situation

As per the feasibility report and records of previous similar conferences, it can be predicted that

the conference will not end into a failure. We are looking forward for an excellence

commencement of this event with splendid reception and an output of more than 15% profit

margin.

We’re looking forward for your collaboration in future projects
