National Institute of Event Management (NIEM) was formed to cater to the growing needs of the huge multi-dimensioned Event Management Industry in India.

Event Management is done at a very huge scale in India.We have the greatest stage and television shows in the world. The growth of sophisticated and mega companies have bought forth a spurt of Meetings, Seminars, Exhibitions, Conferences, Product launches and all have to be a matter of class and style. Then come the celebrity shows, international artists shows, shows for a cause, road shows, competitions and you name it and India has it. In India even personal functions like Marriages and Birthday parties have become such important social matters, that they have to be managed professionally.

Research showed that there was no formalized education to teach Event Management. Event management companies found that they had to spend a lot of time in training personnel and they would lose a perfectly trained person to competitor for a better bait. Companies found that their executives lacked expertise to handle events, and hence a growing need was left, to have a formalized training in Event Management. If it could be done in Advertising and Marketing, in Communications and Public Relations. Why not Event Management? But it was not so easy because Event Management encompasses all; it includes organizational skills, Technical and Production knowledge, P. R., Marketing, Advertising, Catering Logistic, Décor, Glamour industry, Human Relations, Study of Law and Licenses, Risk Management, Budgeting, Study of Allied lines like Television and other Medias, and the list just does not end here. So it took a painstaking three years research by Dr. Hoshi Bhiwandiwalla and his team to start a course on Event Management.

The course was started with an aim to:-
1. Produce trained and qualified work force for the event and entertainment industry.
2. Create a new class of Event Managers, Event Co-ordinators and Consultants.
3. To bring India on a higher footing in the Events Industry.
4. To constructively utilize the talents of our youngsters towards one of the fastest growing industry. (it grows at 30%)
