Most of the times this goal is not even reached. Of course, planners do have an idea of what they want to communicate and achieve with their event \u2013 but also the participants do have certain expectations towards events.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;10577&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;300&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1493628240400{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;10578&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;300&#8243;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1543316515655{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>To drill down on the attendee\u2019s wishes is a delicate issue<\/strong>. Planners and agencies sell themselves as professionals, being able to anticipate every wish. But haven\u2019t we all experienced at least one event, where the planners and agencies were content with their performances but the attendees left without added value? \u2013 for sure!<br \/>\n<strong>Communication is one of the key factors within the MICE industry,<\/strong> as misunderstandings can lead to not achieving the event\u2019s goal at all. In an ideal situation, a part of the target audience can answer some key questions to an event in its planning phase making the concept phase more target-oriented. Participants do not necessarily need to work through an entire canvas on their own, <strong>but we all can try to work closer altogether \u2013 involving our participants.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]The Event Canvas is offering the opportunity to <strong>make the interaction of planners and participants tangible in a structured way<\/strong>. It could and should be more present in our minds. Currently, we find many events and workshops about the Event Canvas \u2013 and they are well booked. <strong>Many participants understand the potential of the Event Canvas, but only very few actually use it to its fullest<\/strong>. Events should be tailored to their target audiences in order to maximize the added value. Using the Event Canvas is not only extremely helpful with that, it could be an essential part of planning an event if planners are speaking to their participants during the planning stage of an event and <strong>do not solely rely on feedback directly after the last event<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/mr-congress.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/1.-board-2433982_960_720_CCO-pixabay_web.jpg\" class=\"ss-hidden-pin-image\" alt=\"Events Canvas, Event Organization, Optimize Event, Organize an event for my own, Event Canvas in der Praxis, Eventkonzept, Event \u00a0Planer und Agenturen, Event Planning, Event Agencies, Event Experts, Veranstaltungen Experten, Event Experten, Nutzung vom Event Canvas, Tool wie den Event Canvas nutzen, Planer Profis.\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/mr-congress.com\/en\/2018\/12\/01\/the-event-canvas\/\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mr-congress.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/1.-board-2433982_960_720_CCO-pixabay_web.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"The Event Canvas\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6280&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1493169522556{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6281&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Canvas is an already established tool&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:div|font_size:40|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Kristi%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; el_class=&#8221;two-know-quote&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;m-blog-text-right&#8221;]For both agency and corporate planners, the Event Canvas&#x2122; is a well-known tool already.
