Paid to ensure projects run smoothly, events managers are responsible for a wide range of activities. Depending on the size and structure of the company, this can include planning, marketing and actually running the event on the day.
There are an almost endless variety of events that need planning:
Exhibitions
Conferences
Promotions
Product launches
Parties

In a large organisation, events managers will tend to specialise, while in a small company, they will have a hand in everything, from booking the venue to promoting the event, from dealing with the client to actually attending on the day.

With the right training and experience, employment is possible in a range of organizations, from large operations, where everything is handled in-house, through to self-employment where you specialize in a particular type of event and work on a contract basis.
