	The Phases illustrate the sequential nature of event management, highlighting the criticality of time in any event project. The phases include initiation, planning, implementation, the event, and closure, and are derived from traditional project management terminology.
	The Processes illustrate both a sequential and iterative system that promotes a comprehensive course of action as well as a dynamic approach to the changing nature of events. The Processes include assessment, selection, monitoring, communication, and documentation, and are based on widely-accepted process systems.
	The Domains represent the overarching areas of activity or functions within events management. They illustrate the full scope of the responsibilities assigned to event organizers as well as categories suitable for an organizational structure or effective knowledge management. Note that these are organized alphabetically, again without any implied hierarchy or sequential application.
	Event Planning Tools The event planning tool provides a convenient way to record, track and monitor various activities in the overall event planning. The event can be divided into phases and projects. Each can be sorted and analyzed from each category.
	The Event Project Plan (by Apollo) provides a template of event tasks that have been pre-defined for your use. Once the task duration and start time are entered, the project tool will automatically spell out the overall schedule and dependencies for the overall event including the cost and performance tracking.
