Course description
This course builds insights into the planning and project management principles of events (cultural, sport and business). It explores the linkages between an event's vision, mission and strategic plan and examines ways in which project management skills can be applied to ensure event viability. The legal and regulatory environment, stakeholder relationships, knowledge of event risk and opportunity, marketing and human resources are all examined and analysed. Students are exposed to the latest management software and technologies used by event practitioners to plan, monitor and evaluate event success.
