Why Event Management
The events industry is a young and exciting industry that has expanded rapidly in the last decade, giving rise to an ever increasing demand for professional event managers.
The industry now includes events of all sizes from the Olympics down to business breakfast meetings. Many industries, charitable organisations, and interest groups hold events in order to market themselves, build business relationships, raise money, coordinate events abroad or celebrate achievement. This course will give you a broad understanding of event management, from concept to delivery.
You will be given the required theory, know-how and practical examples to support you gaining employment in the event management industry. You will be taught by lecturers that have a mix of academic and industry background, which give you a practical, career-focused experience.
The course will equip you with the necessary tools to develop an event from proposal, through planning, to completion stage. This will include preparing an event proposal, stakeholder management, sponsorship and other vital essentials required to host an event. You will practice and look at best practice examples through case studies, and an opportunity to visit or volunteer at a real-world event management experience.
Recent classes have utilised their event management skills to support events such as the National Sustainability summit, at exhibitions in Croke Park, Aviva and RDS, work at sports marketing events through the Lecturer’s networks, and organise events such as the IBAT College Open Evening.
