Humber’s Event Management graduate certificate program includes comprehensive and hands-on training combined with industry involvement and the ability to apply what students have learned through a field experience. We teach essential skills such as venue selection, logistics and time planning, staging, selection of food and beverage, budgeting, staffing, post-event evaluation and professional expectations. Students learn to design, develop, co-ordinate and manage a broad range of events such as corporate meeting planning; film, documentary and music festivals; not-for-profit experiential events and galas; brand experiences; consumer events; and trade shows.

Additionally, students gain transferable, practical knowledge and skills in management practices such as planning, design, marketing, human resource and volunteer management, sponsorship, catering management, budgeting, risk management and event evaluation for in-person or online/virtual events. Faculty are chosen for their expertise and experience in the event management field and many continue to work in the industry.
