| The Events Department staff are here to run events and to help anyone else who wants to run an event. They help with planning, logistics, scheduling, and can provide assets and prizes for an event. They also put together event plans and other information resources to help improve events and make running an event easier. Experience can help avoid hiccups and pitfalls encountered in the past.
| | Events allow Unistas to experience a wide range of what EVE has to offer, often outside the normal day-to-day activities they might undertake. |
|
| |
|
| == ==
| | Events can be typical activities such as PvP, mining, exploration etc, but includes activities such as sightseeing tours, lotteries, or trivia contests etc. |
|
| |
|
| === What is an Event? === | | == Finding and participating in events == |
| | To see what’s on, the best place to look is the Discord events list; most events should be scheduled there at least a few days in advance, but sometimes there will be ad-hoc events appearing. The Discord entry for each event should provide clear instructions on what the event is and how you can take part. |
|
| |
|
| Events are any activity that isn't a class or teaching lecture. Events allow Unista's to experience what EVE has to offer, and experience can often be the best teacher. Events can be PVP related (although most fleets are run outside of the Events Department), non-combat: industry, mining or exploration/sightseeing. They do not even have to require undocking lotteries or trivia contests fall under the Events Department remit as much as a full blown tournaments with teams and rankings.
| | === Okay, so you want to run an event. But how to start? === |
| | Anyone can run an event and our aim is to always find a way to progress any event idea our members have as long as it does not interfere with the continued running of the Uni, and don't breach [[EVE University Rules]] (without special permission). Wherever possible, events will be scheduled to deconflict with any existing activity. |
|
| |
|
| The [[Events Library]] holds many example templates for previously run successful events. Please feel free to use this resource when planning your own event.
| | If you want to run an event, please contact a member of the Department (details below) and we'll help you make it happen. If you are looking for inspiration for an event, the [[:Category:Events|Events Page]] holds many 'recipes' for previously-run events and there's a new Introduction to Events class being developed as well. Please use our wiki pages when planning your own event, and don't hesitate to ask us for help, that's what we are here for. |
|
| |
|
| | First decide on the type of event you want to run. There are some questions you should be asking for yourself during this stage: |
| | * What will the event be about? |
| | * Who is the targeted audience? Is it open to the public or is it for E-Uni students only? |
| | * Would there be any requirements, like being able to fly a certain ship / fit? |
| | * When do you want it to happen? How much time would it take? |
| | * Is it the typew of event that would benefit from a prize? |
| | * Can you lead the event yourself, or do you need help to make it happen? |
|
| |
|
| === Participating in Events ===
| | The Events Department is here to help with any element of planning and running an event, please just ask. For more information see the [[Guide to Running Events]]. |
|
| |
|
| | === Can I run an event? === |
| | * Any member of the Uni is free to schedule and run events. |
| | * Events should be scheduled so that they do not conflict with other activites. |
| | * It is advised that standing events and tournaments do not monopolize the calendar for longer than 2-3 weeks at a time. |
| | * During wartime somme events might not be suitbale to run and might need to be rescheduled. |
| | * Please speak to the [[Events Manager]] if you are planning an event involving participants or organizers who are not in EVE Uni. |

| To see what’s on, the best place to look is the calendar, either in game, on [https://gate.eveonline.com/ Eve Gate], or via our [http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ public calendar feed]. Most events should be scheduled there at least a few days in advance.
| | === How can The Events Department help? === |

| The [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=104 Corporation Events] section on the forums is where you will find information on past and future events, events planning and discussion. All scheduled events should have an accompanying forum post in this section.
| | '''Our job is to make sure your events happen!''' |
|
| |
|
| To take part in an event, you should read the calendar and forum post for the event you are interested in. These should provide you with clear instructions. Sometimes you will need to reply to the forum post to indicate your interest. This is often the case with team based events or where numbers are an important factor.

| If you have successfully run a particular event before, you are free to schedule and run further events of the same type. If you are running a particular event for the first time, you must get your event approved by a member of the Event Staff (or in the case of an ILN event, an ILN Lieutenant Commander or above) before posting it up. You should supply a draft of your event forum post detailing rules, prizes, scheduling etc. for their approval.
