In the early stages of the planning process your plan will not contain definitive information, but it will help to keep you on track and will reassure partners and stakeholders that you are planning a safe, well -thought out and organised event. As the planning progresses, you will be updating this document and you should make sure that your fellow event organisers are updating their relevant areas of responsibility as well. All those undertaking key roles on the event day should receive a copy of the final Event Management Plan (EMP) in advance, to allow time.
