Introduction

Event management is the application of project management to the creation and development of small and/or large-scale personal or corporate events such as festivals, conferences, ceremonies, weddings, formal parties, concerts, or conventions. It is the process of planning, organizing, and coordinating events. These include conferences, trade shows, university exams, and corporate gatherings. It involves handling logistics, selecting venues, arranging entertainment, coordinating vendors, and ensuring the event runs smoothly.  Managing events well needs strong organization. It requires attention to detail and the ability to multitask. It also involves managing budgets, timelines, and team coordination to create memorable experiences for attendees. Event managers work closely with clients to understand their vision and bring it to life successfully.
 
Hospitality management involves all the tasks and aspects associated with managing a hospitality business. These businesses focus on welcoming customers and providing them with pleasant experiences, whether through dining, lodging, events, entertainment, or travel.  Hospitality management is a broad field that involves overseeing the day-to-day administrative, operational, and commercial activities of businesses in the hospitality industry. As opposed to the more narrowly focused “hotel management”, hospitality management is an umbrella term that covers various industries such as food and beverage, travel and accommodation, and event management. 

The departments under a hospitality manager’s stewardship may range from maintenance and housekeeping to spa services, concierge, reception, and many more. This Course will walk the participants through the nitty gritty of Events and Hospitality Business.
