Location:
Be a part of this intensive certificate course and learn the industry best practices, principles and executions of event management.
Introduction
The proliferation of ‘events’ as a strategic marketing tool used by companies and brands 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 mainstream 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 teams are often behind-the-scenes running the project. Event managers are involved in more than just planning and execution of the event, but also in brand building, marketing and communication strategies. 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 also involved in audio-visual production, program script writing, talent sourcing and management, and stage production/lights/sounds.
