Event Management

Setting the Tone

The Spirit of Events in Pictures

Introduction & Perspective Event management, the most

profound form of advertising and strategic marketing tool, is a glamorous and thrilling profession

In the last 10 to 15 years, there has been enormous growth in the event management industry. Event management is generally outsourced

Almost 500 billion US dollars (USD) are spent annually on planned events around the world

To arrange events for a small group of people or huge events with around 1lakh people attending

Immense work pressures, long hours of work quite often outside regular business hours, are all part and parcel of achieving a rewarding outcome in this field.  

The event management sector in the country has been in the forefront of everybody’s focus with the growing importance of marketing communication

Event management Industry referred to as ‘Live Entertainment’ is a fast growing and rapidly evolving industry

More than 2000 companies have forayed into events. The early 90s has seen events spend at a mere 20 crores but now it has increased to over 2000 crores.

But surprisingly, research showed that there was no formalized education to teach event management

Today it is much more professional and more organized sector than a decade ago.
