Event Manager

Event managers are responsible for planning, organising, and overseeing a wide range of events such as conferences, exhibitions, weddings, festivals, and corporate meetings. Their job involves everything from setting budgets and booking venues to coordinating suppliers, handling logistics, and ensuring that events run smoothly on the day. Event managers need strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills, as they often have to deal with unexpected changes or challenges. This role can be fast-paced and sometimes requires working evenings or weekends, especially when events are taking place. Many event managers work for event management companies, venues, or within the marketing departments of large organisations, but some are also self-employed or run their own businesses.
