If you have high organisation and interpersonal skills and thrive in a fast-paced environment, consider a career as an event manager

Event managers plan and organise promotional, business and social events. They’re responsible for running a range of events, ensuring the target audience is engaged and the message of the event is marketed properly. Events play a huge part in the success of a brand or an organisation.

As an event manager, you’ll organise conferences, seminars and exhibitions, as well as parties and corporate incentive trips.

You’ll manage the whole process from the planning stage, right through to running the event and carrying out the post-event evaluation. The role is primarily hands-on and often involves working as part of a team.
