Course Overview
The feasibility of a virtual or live event relies heavily on adequate funding and resources. Event professionals require the skills to implement fundraising activities and develop sponsorship packages in order to ensure a positive event outcome. This course introduces you to revenue streams for corporate, private and not-for-profit events and fundraising opportunities and activities for the development of event resources. Sponsorship and fundraising play a huge role in successful event management. Planners must be able to create connections amongst delegates, customers, service providers, human resources (including volunteers), and the general public. You will use a simulated event to apply the concepts in this course.
