Event Assignment Plans & Ideas

Next week for class, we are responsible for attending different events that are going on locally. In doing so, we are in charge of observing the event itself and observing the people that are present at the event. While at the event, we are to interview people who will we feel will give us useful feedback about the event and how it relates back to fashion.

An event that I am considering in attending is Alive after Five in downtown Charlotte. This event is held once a week, on a Thursday, in the Epicentre. This event showcases local bands and different food and drink vendors. With live music and different vendors, this event always brings in a crowd of young people. After attending the event, people usually like to go to the bars and restaurants that are located in the Epicentre as well.

At this event, there are many people that I can interview. Some people that I have in mind are the coordinators of the Alive after Five event, the promoters, the bands, the customers, and maybe even the employees at the different restaurants in the Epicentre. With so many people that I can interview, this will allow me to see the different opinions about how people feel about the event and why they do or do not like it.

Some questions that I may ask are...
1) What brings you to the Epicentre?
2) Do you attend this event weekly?
3) What do you like/dislike about this event?
4) Do you feel this event is successful/unsuccessful?
5) Are there any ideas that you have that can better this event?
6) What are some fashion trends/items that you see people wearing to the Epicentre?
7) Do you think this event show run year-round or just over the summer?
8) What type of people attend this event?

These are just a few questions that I have in mind for possible interview questions. This event will run from 5 until 9.
