What is events management? Events management involves planning, executing, and evaluating different types of events, including concerts, conferences, product launches, and sports tournaments. Events management is a fast-growing and fast-paced industry that involves activities such as: Identifying and securing venues for events. Planning event schedules. Managing event budgets. Arranging the catering, décor, and entertainment for events. Marketing events (or sending out event invitations). Providing assistance on the day of an event. Evaluating the success of an event once it has taken place. Events management is both exciting and stressful: it gives you the opportunity to work with different types of people, to express your creativity, and to plan different types of events, but it also requires you to work under pressure, to meet deadlines, and to meet (or exceed) client expectations. The information provided below serves as an indication of what you will learn please note that this will vary from one course to another (within the relevant category).

What will you learn? When you study a course in events management, you will gain the knowledge and skills that you need to plan and manage an event successfully. Depending on which course you choose to study, you may also learn how to plan specific types of events, such as sports events or business events. At Oxbridge Academy, all of the Events Management courses cover the following topics: The characteristics of events The reasons for hosting events Events management in the South African context Leading an events team Leadership vs management Leadership techniques Roles and skills of the events manager Purpose and structure of the events team The events planning process In-house events management vs consulting events management Employment opportunities in events management Stakeholder management Events, environment, and experience design Costing, budgeting, and maintaining financial records in relation to events The legal framework pertaining to events Contracts and agreements between service providers Risk and health & safety management in the context of events

If you choose to study a course that specialises in managing specific types of events, you will also learn about the fundamental principles and unique aspects of managing those types of events.
