First of all, anyone can run an event. The [[Events Department]] is here to provide help and support to anyone wishing to run an event. This is a general guide and not exhaustive, if you have any questions contact a member of the [[Events Staff]]. The more experienced you are at running events, the more you can customise and streamline the procedure.

=== Decide on the Event Type ===

The first thing to do is to decide on the type of event you want to run. You may want to re-create a previous event, this is often the easiest way if you are new to running events. To help with this, we are compiling Events Plans of some of our most popular events to allow anyone to use them as a guide. If you are feeling more inventive, you may want to create a new variation of an event, or you may have an idea for a completely new type of event.

=== Develop Your Idea ===

Once you have a general idea of the event you want to run, you should make a plan detailing the key areas of the event:

*What are the aims of the event.

*What preparation and set-up is required.

*What are the event rules.

*How will the event be run.

*What prizes may be offered.

=== Post it Up ===

Post your event in the [http://www.eve-ivy.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=104 Corporation Events] section on the forum, the subject should begin with the [EVENT] tag. If you have the Student title or higher, you should add the event to the in game calendar, if not, contact a member of the events staff who will add the calendar event. You should create a CORP event using the same [EVENT] tag and title as your forum post. Make sure you include a link to your forum post and that the time and duration match those in your post. If you have to cancel an event, you should change the tag on the calendar and forum to [CANCELLED]. For more information see [[Using the Eve University Calendar]].

=== Running the Event ===

Before your event is due to begin double check any preparations are in place, for example if you have set anything up in space, make sure it is still there! You should announce the event in the Alliance chat channel 15 minutes before the start time and again when it is about to begin. You can use the Class.E-UNI chat and Teamspeak channels to run your event. Make sure you have a clear idea of how you want to run the event, and have your event notes to hand. Begin by summarising the event and running through the rules. Remember that this is your event and you are in charge, you should feel free to deal with rule breakers, be polite but firm. If anyone is disruptive, inform the Events Manager and they will be dealt with.
