...FORESIGHT 1.1 EVENTS MANAGEMENT. Event management is the application of project management to the creation and development of festivals, events and conferences. As an event manager, one is responsible for managing an event from conception through to staging. Event management involves studying the complexities of the brand, identifying the target audience, devising the event concept, planning the logistics and coordinating the technical aspects before actually launching the event. Post-event analysis and ensuring a return on investment have become significant drivers for the event industry. The recent growth of festivals and events as an industry around the world means that the management can no longer be done or set up for a sole and particular purpose. Events management entails the overseeing of all sorts of events from the Olympics co-ordination and staging down to the planning of a breakfast meeting for ten business people.
