The cost of each study is tailored to the scope, complexity, and duration of the project. We work closely with our clients to define their needs and ensure a fair and transparent pricing structure.
To conduct a thorough event impact assessment, we will need access to certain financial information for the economic impact, which is often found in contracts related to the event (e.g., with suppliers, sponsors, venues, etc.). We also follow certain KPIs related to the sustainability impact, media impact and social impact. In addition to this, we collect a whole range of data on site before, during and after the event through surveys and observation.
All information shared with us is treated with the highest level of confidentiality and securely stored. AISTS will provide you with a detailed list of the specific documents and data required at the beginning of the process to ensure a smooth and efficient collaboration.
AISTS ensures that both the methodology is followed, and the quality of data is maintained, whether the data is collected by the organiser, usually with a dedicated team of volunteers, or by AISTS itself. We then deliver a comprehensive final report, along with an easy-to-read highlights report designed for broader distribution.
