The correct answer is: All of the above

In event planning, key stakeholders include all parties that have a vested interest in the success of the event. This includes executive leaders who provide strategic direction and resources, the local community that may be affected by the event and can impact its perception and execution, as well as attendees and exhibitors who play a critical role in the event's engagement and financial viability. Recognizing that each of these groups contributes to different aspects of the event’s success is essential for effective planning. Engaging with executive leaders helps ensure alignment with organizational goals, involving the local community fosters goodwill and cooperation, and considering the needs and feedback of attendees and exhibitors enhances the overall experience and satisfaction. This holistic approach to stakeholder engagement is crucial for the event’s success and sustainability.
