Event Organisation

Events may be corporate (business functions or conferences), exhibitions, or private (weddings and other family functions).

Organising events is the fastest growing sector of the tourism industry. Skilled and qualified Event Organisers are much in demand. This course covers the complete organising of an event from conception, planning, budgeting, marketing and running the event itself.
