Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Audience feedback is a crucial component of event planning, providing insights that help organizers design layouts that enhance comfort, accessibility, and engagement. In Gusau Local Government Area, Zamfara State, event organizers are increasingly recognizing the value of incorporating audience preferences into event layouts. According to Musa and Ahmed (2023), audience feedback helps identify potential challenges, such as overcrowding, poor visibility, and inadequate facilities, enabling organizers to make informed decisions. Despite its importance, the use of audience feedback in designing event layouts remains limited due to factors such as lack of systematic data collection and insufficient engagement with attendees. This study examines the role of audience feedback in designing event layouts, focusing on its application, benefits, and challenges in Gusau.

Event layouts significantly impact attendee experience, yet many events in Gusau fail to meet audience expectations due to inadequate consideration of feedback. This often results in issues such as poor seating arrangements, overcrowding, and logistical inefficiencies.
