Advanced Events Management
Course Info
Course Summary
Hosting official events could be a massive part of your marketing or PR practices to promote your services and products. They’re also beneficial for gaining stakeholders and investors, giving them the full pitch and experience. It's important to be prepared to create a professional event that will impress your guests and follow all of the appropriate guidelines.
Advanced protocol and events management techniques will help you to develop appropriate communication styles for remote and face-to-face events and explore opportunities to influence and negotiate with an audience.
Developing a smoothly run event with a great schedule and interesting discussions will give you a positive reputation as a business and employer, making you likely to gain more interest. The rule of reciprocity also means that if you throw an amazing event for your guests, they will feel more obliged to provide something in return, whether that be their custom, financial support or expertise.
Organising events isn’t just about planning your schedule for the day. You’ll also need to consider refreshments, health and safety concerns, risk assessments, and contractors to ensure everything goes smoothly.
