The Event industry continues to rapidly develop and expand, driving the demand for highly skilled personnel in professional event organizations. The industry values advanced interpersonal, management skills and resilient adaptability. Beyond organizational proficiency, expertise in stakeholder interaction and project management is crucial. Our minor's core objective is to train students as comprehensive event organizers, integrating theoretical knowledge on project management, creative event design, risk assessment, marketing, and event finances with practical experience in real-world events. In this minor you will design, plan and execute an impactful event that benefits a local community.
While rewarding, event management is also a challenging field that often goes beyond the typical 9-to-5 mentality. The nature of this program ensures students understand the rigors of the industry. The sense of accomplishment and the thrill of creating something extraordinary make it all worthwhile. You'll have the opportunity to work collaboratively in teams on various events. This approach mirrors the industry’s reality, providing valuable insights into effective communication, problem-solving, and the power of collective creativity. Embark on a journey where you'll not only acquire the skills to thrive in the events industry but also develop a keen sense of responsibility toward stakeholders.
Structure of the minor
The overall learning outcome of the minor is: "The student can apply design, organizational, and execution skills to create a sustainable event that contributes to the local community. The student will conduct an in-depth analysis of the event's impact and reflect on their own role as a professional event organizer, considering both individual and group perspectives."
Based around the areas of project management, creativity and design, marketing, programming, finance and risk management, you demonstrate that you are able to identify and analyze relevant theory and apply this to real world event cases. The minor is a mix of interactive atelier sessions, expert sessions, guest lectures, and self-study.
After a teambuilding bootcamp during the first period, you will embark on various mandatory educational field trips during your minor. These immersive local excursions will allow you to explore Bali, event practices and community initiatives, providing valuable insights and inspiration for your work as an event organizer. You will then apply these learnings while designing and organizing a real event for a client, to be executed in the final week of the minor.
