It offers a comprehensive guide based on her handbook 'Building a Vibrant City Events Plan', which she used to encourage local councils to support community events. Key topics include volunteer engagement, collaborative planning, and marketing strategies. Porteous discusses the importance of community buy-in, collaboration, and communication for successful event planning. She also introduces the '8 Week Event Plan' program and offers various downloadable resources like a volunteer engagement strategy, sponsorship worksheet, and a comprehensive event management checklist.
