Event management refers to the planning, co-ordination, running, development, and the creation of events such as conferences, parties, conventions, concerts, and ceremonies. During event management, the persons involved should understand the purpose, theme, audience, and venue of the anticipated event. Besides, the compatibility of the mentioned elements is vital for the anticipated event to be successful. First, understanding the purpose of an event enables the planners and organizers to identify the right venue.
For instance, people organizing a football match realize that the audience will be big, and thus, they have to select or identify an appropriate venue that will contain the audience. Similarly, organizers or planners of an event have to understand its theme, and through this they can set an event mood to the audience. Having an understanding of the theme enables event organizers and planners to outline the timeline of activities that will take place. The theme must be relevant to the purpose of the event for success to be achieved. For instance, a person organizing a birthday party must ensure that the theme of the party revolves around socializing, entertainment, to set a good mood for the audience. On the other hand, understanding the audience helps an event organizer come up with an appropriate theme that will not leave the audience disappointed and bored. Moreover, having an understanding of the venue enables an event planner to determine the size of the audience. Thus, it is agreeable that the compatibility of the mentioned elements is essential if an event concept is to be successful.
For event concepts to be feasible, the integration of important technologies such as software applications, online requests for proposals, open bidding, virtual tours, Internet websites, mobile technologies, virtual gatherings, and marketing and communication, is important.

It is likely that events planned with software applications such as Microsoft Office Suite are efficient, organized and successful.

Furthermore, for an event concept to be feasible, the use of mobile technologies at the planning stage is essential. Mobile technologies play an integral role in the enhancement and improvement of communication before and during the actual event. Apart from communication enhancement, the use of mobile technologies can help the planners and the audience, conduct research about the theme of a particular event, and through this their participation in the event can be ensured. It cannot be doubted that the participation of an audience in an event leads to the success of the event, which is always a dream of every event organizer.
