Meeting 2

Venue: Home

Team met up online to discuss what to do for freely chosen topic. Unfortunately, most of us were not able to come up with our own topics. So once again we had to brainstorm to generate ideas.

I presented 2 topics i thought of.

First was, "The impact of holding special events rather than a continuous event."

(Sector: special event; track: event yield)

Special events are defined as an event held only once with a specific purpose (e.g. product launch or concert etc etc)

Continuous events are defined as something that happens regularly (e.g. Communics Asia, PC shows, biennale etc etc)
· In terms of planning, execution, evaluation and profits
· Our methodology can include case studies, lit reviews, surveys of event companies(if possible)
· Our lit review can have the differences between the 2 types (characteristics, objectives etc etc)

Second, "The sustainability of Singapore’s music sector the in entertainment industry."

(Sector: arts; track: event yield)

· In terms of the future developments, plans, possible placement in the world and its profitability
· Our methodology can include interviews, surveys, lit review
· We can do research on past and current situation of the industry.

In the end team decided to use the 2nd one as we felt the first topics was too simple and vague.

Observations: Team was slightly distracted. Maybe due to the fact that we are not face to face and the multiple distractions that home has, it made discussing abit difficult. I think we should not have anymore online meetings to increase productivity and efficiency.
