Description

Events management combines project management and hospitality to create and develop events on a large scale. Events such as festivals, parties, concerts, conventions and conferences all need rigorous planning to ensure they run smoothly for all in attendance. The Events Manager is the spine of any event and in this role, you will utilise your eye for details, time management and leadership qualities to manage events across creative and corporate sectors.
