Event Management is a multi-crore industry with mega shows and events hosted regularly. In India personal functions like marriages and birthday parties have become important social matters, and have to be professionally managed. The growth of sophisticated and mega companies have brought forth a spurt of meetings, seminars, exhibitions, conferences, product launches with everything being a matter of class and style. Then comes the innumerable celebrity shows, international artists shows, shows for a cause, road shows, competitions, that India has seen of late.

More than 2000 companies have forayed into events. The early 90s has seen events spend at a mere 20 crores but now it has increased to over 2000 crores. Growth is therefore 200% annually. The FICCI has estimated event management to be a 2000 crore industry by 2009. But surprisingly, research showed that there was no formalized education to teach event management and Companies found their executives not up to the mark to handle events. It was not so easy to train because event management includes organizational skills, technical knowledge, P.R., marketing, advertising, catering, logistics, decor, glamour identity, human relations, study of law and licenses, risk managements, budgeting, study of allied like television and other medias and several other areas.
