Varsity College Events Management
Event management courses have become increasingly in demand as many businesses understand that good public relations events can be more valuable to their brand than traditional advertising. So there are many opportunities out there for trained individuals to co-ordinate some incredibly interesting events.
Just take Red Bull as an example. A few years ago it would have been unimaginable that an extreme dirt bike track would have been built on the steps of the Union Buildings in Pretoria. And yet, this is exactly where the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2014 finale was held.
