Though you've probably heard the word "event management" thrown around, it refers to the use of project management skills in the planning and execution of activities such as meetings, symposiums, conferences, fairs, exhibits, festivals, and functions. Significant events such as the Indian Premier League, literature festivals, the Olympics, and the Commonwealth Games all depend entirely on event management companies. An MBA in Event Management will open up many opportunities for a student who enjoys action, variety, challenge, and outdoor work, as this industry is rapidly growing.
Identifying and recognising the target audience, designing the event theme, communicating and promoting the idea, coordinating technical specifications, forecasting the expense, and successfully executing the event are all things that event management entails.
