A course designed to help you discover the strategic, creative and technical skills required for event organisation

To manage the entire event process, from conception to production.

Event organisation and management is a complex field that is in high demand in the job market. For this reason, the proposed training programme offers a comprehensive, specialised course that is constantly updated to reflect the latest trends and challenges in the events industry. The course provides all the strategic, creative and technical skills you need to become an Event Manager capable of working for both agencies and private organisations. The aim is to train industry experts capable of operating independently in a constantly evolving world.

Information to decide

The programme is based on a ‘learning by doing’ approach

The course consists of eight in-depth modules designed to equip students with the professional and soft skills required in today’s events industry. Event managers, in fact, need an increasingly broad range of knowledge to be able to quickly interpret the various dynamics of an industry that has undergone profound changes in recent years.

During the course, you will put yourself to the test with exercises, projects and classroom workshops, and you will take part in live experiences and visits to venues and agencies, culminating in the final project.

The course is aimed at:

  • Professionals already working in the communications sector who wish to broaden, refine and, above all, update their knowledge;
  • Graduates, students and aspiring Event Managers looking for an immersive and professional training programme.
     

Whatever your starting level, by the end of the 120 hours you will become a well-rounded professional ready to work in an agency or independently.

The course’s highly specialised nature makes it particularly appealing to professionals or aspiring professionals in the sector.

Key features include:

  • The opportunity to meet various suppliers within the industry’s supply chain (e.g. venue representatives, music consultants, etc.) during the course and to acquire key skills in managing professional relationships, including with the various members of the team;
  • A training programme designed to explore all stages of an event, from conception – including gathering the brief and developing the concept – through to planning – involving the selection of the venue and suppliers – and on to production and live event management;
  • An examination of the tools used in event production, such as the production plan, the staging plan, the budget/control, the Gantt chart, the contact sheet/contact list, the mailing list and the rooming list;
  • The opportunity to explore broadcasting platforms and the new frontiers of streaming/web in detail. This innovative and up-to-date course module is designed to provide an overview of the main online event platforms.

Syllabus

The course is structured around eight different modules covering: a general overview of the history and evolution of the market; the life cycle of an event; suppliers within the industry; key team roles; event production; platforms used in the sector; broadcasting; innovative market techniques; and group workshops and project work.
