Events and exhibitions are tricky tasks to accomplish. So much to think about, so much to do and so little time to do it; Although event management can be stressful, careful planning and preparation can do much to reduce the pressure.

The purpose of the course is to provide those involved in event management with an understanding of event execution and how it can be improved. This intensive and highly interactive one-day course will set the scene by answering the following questions:

* How does event management fit into corporate planning?
* What is event management?
* Why are events and exhibitions organised?
* When should events take place?

* Who is the target audience?

* Suppliers
* Negotiation
* Budget
* Return on Investment (ROI)
