About
Event Planning & Management
Events of all sizes, from your company’s annual retreat to the World Economic Forum in Davos and beyond, have the power to shape culture, attitudes and policies at an organizational and even global level. They can stimulate local economies, raise (or tank) stock prices, grow public awareness and help launch new products into the stratosphere. And behind each critical event are well-trained event planners and managers responsible for everything from design, logistics, coordination, marketing, sponsorship, budgeting, event evaluation and more.
Canada’s top event planning courses will impart a wide range of skills to students interested in entering the event planning field. They will consult deeply with industry experts and explore new and emerging technologies that are driving event planning in a virtual world.
The best event planning courses and programs will take a client-centric approach to creating, planning and designing objective-based events that can be delivered on time and budget. An emphasis on managing the financial aspects of event planning, as much staff coordination, design and marketing, will help ensure graduates leave their programs with hands-on, job-ready, skills and experience.
Event planning and management programs range in length from several semesters for specialized certificates to several years for diplomas at colleges across Canada.
Steady job growth is expected for event planners in Canada, with an average salary of roughly $58,000 per year. Among senior event planners, salaries can reach more than $115,000 annually, according to Talent.com.
