Qualification Description
This qualification reflects the role of individuals operating at a senior level who use a wide range of specialised managerial skills and substantial knowledge of event management processes to conceive, plan and stage events.

Possible job titles include:
- conference manager
- event director
- event producer
- event or exhibition manager
- functions manager
- in-house meetings manager
- meetings manager
- project manager
