Event Architecture® Strategies for Decision Makers™

Beyond operational competence toward strategic event leadership and innovation.

An advanced executive-level short course designed for experienced Event Managers, Event Directors, Event Principals and organisational decision-makers seeking to elevate their strategic leadership capabilities within the event management environment.

This programme builds upon the tactical and operational foundations established through Event Architecture® Principles of Event Management in Practice (EAPoEMiP) by focusing specifically on the strategic considerations that influence high-level event design, management, positioning and delivery.

Strategic thinking for complex event decisions.

Whereas EAPoEMiP addresses systems, processes, competencies and operational methodologies required for effective event execution, this advanced programme explores the broader strategic dimensions facing contemporary event decision-makers.

Presented by Pieter Swart, CMP, CMM
