Event Training Courses
Our suite of live and on line event training courses, follow-on support and coaching services will help you run successful and rewarding events.
The vast majority of today’s event planners lack experience or formal qualifications and yet are expected to deliver outstanding events in the most public of environments. Many of you are new, accidental or occasional event planners: it’s not the day job. Events may appear in your job description but not in your job title.
Known as the ultimate live marketing experience: a well-designed and produced event should deliver considerable returns of investment. Event planners (individuals, teams or committees) are tasked with delivering these live experiences. There is always pressure to deliver results.
Sounds familiar, is this you?
The truth is:
Knowing how to deliver great events is a learned skill.

What results can you expect?
We turn event planners into confident and skilled event planners who know ‘how to’ deliver successful, memorable and rewarding events. We liked to think we can inspire you to believe in your ‘events’ self. Which results in them delivering higher return on event figures: making smarter event decisions and reducing costs and event planning time.
