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.

everybody’s focus with the growing
importance of marketing

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

forayed into events. The early 90s has
seen events spend at a mere 20
