This half-day workshop covers the creation and the management of financial plans for
different sorts of events. It gives the methodology to create a realistic financial scenario
and the tools to implement it.
The tutor’s experience in spotting areas for unexpected
financial losses and unrealistic costing or pricing, are an invaluable part of the workshop. |
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Conference managers and organisers, not necessarily with a strong
financial background, but involved or responsible for the conference or
events financial outcome. Financial managers with limited experience of
the dynamics of conference and events finance would also benefit from
the workshop. |
