EVENT MANAGEMENT

Introduction
 

Event management is a fast growing, exciting and creative industry, and involves the application of project management to the creation and development of events, conferences, product launches and corporate activity days, to name a few.

  • Anyone who aspires to become an event planner.
  • People who are currently event managers and co-ordinators, who require formal recognition of their skills.
  • Those who might be required to plan and manage an event as part of their current career portfolio.
