The events industry is big money
While events aren’t always about making money or bringing in big money, there’s always the worry of “will I be able to find work when I graduate?” ‘The events and experience industry in the United Kingdom is worth more than £40 billion, and the top ten event management companies have a combined turnover of around £3.5 billion.’ That is enormous. And that’s all in the United Kingdom.With the global events market expected to develop in 2018 and 2019, more people will come together for shared experiences, which you can help build.
Develop skills you never knew you had
Many people may not realize how much goes into being a successful event planner. By studying events management, you will gain skills that will not only help you excel in this specific career path, but will also provide you with a wide range of transferable skills and experiences, such as budgeting, marketing campaigns, and people and logistics management.Each day is a new day
Because of the nature of this industry, you’ll be exposed to a much wider range of activities, ensuring that no two days are alike. You’re checking out a new venue for your event one day before heading off to visit a second client, and setting up and organizing a live music festival the next. You won’t get bored of the same old things because of the variety, which will keep you entertained and satisfied.
Give yourself just as many experiences
Being an events planner can be just as thrilling for you as it is for your customers, whether you’re holding corporate meetings for Fortune 500 companies or running an international dance festival. Travel opportunities, backstage passes, and meeting celebrities are all part of the package while working in the events industry.
See the results of your hard work first-hand
Nothing feels better than feeling that the hard work has paid off. Not only does the events industry provide a wonderful opportunity to see your plans and visions come to life, but it also offers the ultimate pat on the back in the form of glowing reviews and input from your clients. It’s not something you get every day at work.
FOMO is real; people want experiences
According to a new study by Eventbrite, young people suffer from severe FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out): each month, millenials spend nearly £420 million on attending live events. The events and experience industry isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, with nearly two-thirds of their respondents choosing to spend their hard-earned money on experiences rather than physical possessions.
