Event Planning Courses in Victoria

The information at Good Universities Guide - Events indicates that an event planner or event coordinator plans and organises special events, including parties, wedding receptions, product launches, banquets, sporting events, meetings, conferences, and conventions.  Successful event planners –

 

  • enjoy working with people
  • good organisational and time management skills
  • have every attention to detail
  • good interpersonal and supervisory skills
  • good communication skills
  • neat personal appearance
  • comfortable working with computers
  • able to negotiate, delegate and work under pressure

 

Depending on the size of the establishment, events coordinators may work independently or as part of a team. They often work irregular hours, and on weekends and public holidays.
