Sydney, Australia (prHWY.com) October 18, 2012 - Event Management is a big and booming business. These days it is part of any company's program to throw parties for special occasions such as anniversaries, achievement awards, Christmas parties or just to celebrate a satisfactory sales month. These are not regular parties, mind you, but organized ones with all the elements present and with the goal of making the every event a memorable one.
If you are highly organized, have very good interpersonal skills, have leadership qualities, diplomatic, creative, patient, like to negotiate with different types of people (from top management to construction crew), have a keen eye for details, love to coordinate and can handle multitasking without breaking down, then you can become an event manager.

Before you start updating your resumé, you need to add up Event Management Diploma from a reputable school like the International Career Institute (ICI). A big event, after all, is not easy to pull together. For big companies, they prefer to hire an event manager that has proven track record in the field.

If you have zero experience, you can apply for entry level positions in promotional companies, exhibitions, trade fairs, convention bureaus, tourism offices, event management companies or assist wedding planners. The experience that you will gain in such companies will give you first-hand experience on how to source vendors, negotiate for best prices, finding appropriate venues, managing people and working with a team.

While apprenticing or assisting in big companies, you can simultaneously enroll in ICI's Online Event Management Courses. One advantage of studying even while you are already working is that you can continue training on the technical aspects of the business and apply what you have learned in your current project.
It is not easy to become an event manager but the earning opportunity is great and you also happen to meet a lot of people that can help you establish your own company someday. While you may feel the stress of the job for every event that you manage, remember that you are accumulating contacts and experience so things will all turn for your own benefit.

If you want to have your own company, it is important to continue learning through experience and education. Being up-to-date with management styles and event trends can give you the edge over those who don't have the technical knowledge learned from Event Management Certificate Courses.

Establishing an image or a name for yourself means organizing and managing events that are not only memorable but maximize available client resources. After a while, you may want to just specialize on certain events so you can establish a niche market. If corporate events are your thing, then establish a clientele in that area. Focusing on the events that you enjoy managing will turn in better and consistent satisfactory results. Visit http://www.ici.net.au/eventmanagement/index.htm
