Inhalt: This lecture was designed to give you a practical understanding of the event business and provide opportunities and contacts for potential jobs and internships. During our class, we will experience an exciting, challenging and tight program over eight days. You will get a mix of lectures from both, academics and practitioners. The student mini orals will add theoretical thoughts and literature based knowledge but most importantly, it will give us the chance to discuss current issues in event management. Our field trips will start in Mainz. Then we will visit places in Frankfurt, Leipzig, Berlin and Oberhof where we will meet representatives of different organizations and companies. You will have to take a lot of responsibility and will be involved in planning one day, introducing speakers and start and end the day. For our time in Berlin we will be with our partner, Prof. Dr. G. Fritz from the University of Applied Management (HAM) who will host us at his Berlin campus, where we will get several lectures. There, our group will engage with sport management students from Berlin and jointly visit different sport entities in Germany’s capital city. Our group is composed of the German students in sport management from Mainz and Berlin and master students from Molde, Norway Event management is a very complex and challenging field and provides many potential jobs. Therefore, this class is designed to give you some hands-on insights in managing events from the various stakeholders’ perspectives. All the lectures of practitioners were chosen under the premises to learn from the experts who are doing event management as their day-to-day business. In the end your personal benefit will be based on active discussions and interactions with our experts and the exchange with other students. If you are interested in a topic, do not hesitate to get the contact details from a speaker. This might be the first step to start an internship or to apply for a job after you have finished your master program.
