Event Management Certification Course 2017
Date:
November 5 - 5, 2024
Location:
Be a part of this intensive certificate course and learn the industry best practices, principles and executions of event management.
Overview
The proliferation of ‘events’ as a strategic marketing tool used by companies to introduce and promote products and services lead practitioners to take a closer look at the ‘Science of Event Management’ as a multi-disciplinary field of study. Its recent growth led Experts on event management to establish the discipline as a profession and not anymore as an ad hoc committee work.
The Event Manager is the person who plans and executes events. Event Managers and their team are often behind-the-scenes running the project. Event managers are involved in more than just the planning and execution of the event, but also in brand building, marketing and communication strategy. The Event Manager is an Expert in creative/design, marketing/advertising, and technical/logistical elements of the project. As a multi-dimensional profession, the Event Manager is involved in audio-visual production, script writing, talent sourcing and management, and lights/sounds production. (Source: Wiki).
