Programme Overview

Highlights

As Asia's events capital and leading meetings and convention destination, Hong Kong plays host to a fascinating array of exciting events. The event industry is one of the fastest growing service sectors in both Hong Kong and globally. Businesses have been investing more in events to engage more customers, and hence increasing the demand for well-qualified event professionals.

Combining the study of events with management theory, a special feature of this programmme is the opportunity to learn how events are run from our guest speakers who have the wealth of practitioner experience in the event industry.
