Extremely positive feedback has been received about the program. The four-day course is held in conjunction with Australian Centre for Event Management, University of Technology Sydney and continues to build an international reputation in events education and research for both UTS and VU. The program has been ‘designed to both enhance the professional skill and knowledge base of those already employed within the event industry and to serve as a sound platform for people wishing to launch career in the exciting and varied field of event management’. Strong demand foe the course has prompted the planning of another to be held later this year (17-20 November).
