Question
I am a science graduate. I want to pursue career as an event manager. Which institutes offer courses in event management?
Hospitality, Event and Facility Management sector is a rapidly growing multi-million dollar industry. This makes these sectors not only a viable career path, but also one with immense potential for growth.

An event can be anything like a marriage, business meeting, fashion show, product launch, award function or a contest. While personal functions reflect the status of the client, the purpose of any large-scale corporate event or public event is effective communication and marketing.

A job in event management demands strong technical skills, physical strength, ability to work under pressure, attention to the minute details and lots of enthusiasm.
