Event Management is a multimillion dollar industry and is also called the 'business of experiences.' An event is about people coming together to create, operate and participate in an experience. Every industry be it a business group, charity group or a society, holds events of some size or type in order to market themselves, build businessrelationships, raise money orcelebrate. From the traditional community gatherings, festivals, fairs, and parades, today we get to see technology as well as theme based, dramatic and larger than life social and cultural events. We also have business events such as meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions, (MICE), activations, brand promotions, Intellectual Property, managed events, digital and rural events, sports, entertainment, fund-raising events, and much more. Events today are economic and social drivers of many companies, cities, regions and countries, placing global demands and opportunities.
