The BCEM planning journal
Useful checklists, activity ideas and practical advice for the people bringing everyone together.
Concession equipment can support a school fair or company celebration, but choosing several machines does not create a complete food service. For an event in Vernon, start by deciding who will provide the food and run the stations. Then compare equipment that fits that arrangement.
Read the guideStart a graduation party with the graduate's preferences. They may want a family meal, an afternoon with friends or a larger celebration that brings several groups together. Agree on the kind of gathering before booking the venue or buying decorations.
Read the guideOne well-chosen activity can give a birthday party a clear shape. For a Surrey celebration, start with the attraction the birthday guest most wants, then arrange the rest of the party around it. Adding more equipment is only useful when it gives guests something they will actually enjoy.
Read the guideA mechanical ride needs to be considered as an operating attraction, with space for participants and the people watching them. For an event in New Westminster, review the site before making a ride the centre of the programme. A product photograph cannot establish whether a venue is suitable.
Read the guideA school or community fair gives guests freedom to explore, so games need to be easy to find and understand. For a Chilliwack event, plan the route through the fair before deciding how many rental stations to add. The spaces between activities matter to the guest experience too.
