It explores the concept of a stakeholder analysis, marketing and sponsorship, event staging and logistics, financial management, project management, risk management, human resource management and the process of evaluating events.

The mode of delivery for this unit is through weekly seminars. The teaching and learning approach in this unit is enhanced through in-class or online discussions, where the skills of working effectively with others (specifically team working, task collaboration and working productively with people from diverse cultures), communicating effectively, critical appraisal and the ability to generate ideas are emphasised. This unit also provides for engaged teaching and learning where guest lecturers from event organisations provide networking and volunteering opportunities for students. Successful completion of this unit requires students to complete individual assessment items, which are assessed for quality academic and professional standards, including written communication (structure, language and conventions), ability to work effectively with others, critical analysis (depth of thought, development of argument, logical analysis and insight), depth and breadth of coverage, and the ability to research effectively, using both academic and contemporary sources.
