The contemporary event planning industry is by far one of the world’s most rewarding, dynamic and genuinely enjoyable.  Event planning professionals work on an endless variety of event types, shapes and sizes, ensuring that all the pieces come together to produce one final ‘product’ of outstanding quality.  Some focus on corporate meetings, others specialise in mid-sized domestic events and then there are those that put their talents to use to organise enormous music and arts festivals with hundreds of thousands of attendees.  In all instances, it is the event planning and management team that determine whether or not the event will succeed.  A position of responsibility and reward in equal measures, event management has the potential to be an extraordinary career for life.
