kaasamisürituste

Kaasamisüritused are events designed to accompany or complement a larger event, such as a conference, festival, or corporate gathering. Their aim is to increase participation, foster networking, and extend the event's impact beyond the main program. They can be pre-events, post-events, or parallel activities and may target attendees, partners, sponsors, or local communities.

Typical kaasamisüritused include workshops, roundtable discussions, guided tours, cultural activities, and informal receptions. They are often separately registered or ticketed and require planning that aligns with the main event’s theme while allowing flexibility for different audiences. Formats can be educational, social, or experiential, and spaces may range from on-site venues to off-site activities.

Planning and governance involve budgeting, venue selection, accessibility considerations, transport logistics, safety, and risk assessment. Organizers coordinate with the main event program, sponsors, and local partners to ensure coherence and feasibility. Registration and communications are important to inform potential participants about schedules, costs, and prerequisites.

Evaluation of kaasamisüritused typically looks at attendance numbers, participant feedback, and outcomes such as enhanced engagement, knowledge sharing, or collaboration opportunities. When well executed, these ancillary activities can broaden the reach of the main event, foster community building, and create additional value for participants, organizers, and stakeholders. The term is used in Estonian-speaking event management to describe supplementary programming that accompanies a primary event.
