Festivals & Event Management (iii)

Best Practise in Beerfest Asia
1. Fence- There were queues directed with fence to prevent them from going in flocks.
It is also where wrist tag tickets were gotten as well as where we get our identification card checked for legal age.

2. Beerfest currency- For hygiene purposes.
At the same time, it helps to calculate the monetary transaction more accurately.

3. Air ventilation & water spray- They were in between the tables as well as at the sides to ensure that the temperature of the event remains cooling throughout the night.By having a cooling atmosphere allows people to be more relax, so people can enjoy every moment at the Beerfest with a beer in hand.

4. Tables- Other than cocktail tables, there were long benches of tables neatly arranged inside or outside of the tent for people to seat down, enjoy their beer, chat with their friends or even make friend with people seating around them.

5. Outdoor LCD screen/ Chill out area- If people feel crowded, there were a big outdoor LCD screen where you could catch what was happening directly on the stage. Other than that, there was a chill out area where you could chill out, smoke or even enjoy the night scenery of Singapore River.
