Events Management
About this programme:
The events industry can serve as a catalyst for economic growth and an opportunity for alternative income to boost the GDP of a region. The events industry is growing with “professionals” offering services as event organisers, wedding planners, and party planners. While a special set of skills is required to be a successful events manager, it is near impossible to find a suitably experienced events manager with a formal qualification in events management.
