Events Management?

My brother is finishing his second year studying and training to be an events manager, could you suggest places he could try to get work experience in his chosen career eg nightclubs etc

Events Management?
Events really has two strings to it - Hospitality and Stage/Entertainement and sometimes these do tend to cross over.





For the hospitality events he could look at the Hotel and Leisure Industry. Medium to large Hotels and Hotels Chains will employ Events Co-ordinators and asssociated assistants.





For the Stage/Entertainment style event, large venues such as NEC, Roayl Albert Hall, etc, will employ in house Events staff.





However, his best chance is to look at external events companies that are used by 3rd party commercial clients to run events on their behalf or are contracted by the larger venues or production companies to run the event from start to finish.
Reply:He can also try convention center management companies %26amp; even large hotel/conference centers.





Anywhere is a foot in the door. He may have to work his way up, but that is the best way to learn how a business really works.





Good luck to him
