Live Performance Management

Understanding how to think on your feet in the pressure cooker of a live event environment requires building knowledge and skills to react to different challenges. This unit, collaboratively developed alongside a major event producer, equips you with skills for a range of scenarios based on events you would encounter as a professional in event management.

In this unit, you will be guided through the development of an event operational plan based on an industry-developed brief. You will learn how to set clear event objectives, react to last minute changes, deal with hostile clients and design a feedback survey that will allow you to report back to your clients on the performance of the event.

You'll develop a detailed understanding of the processes, technology and logistics involved in creating, building and staging a live event.
