Humber’s Event Management graduate certificate program includes comprehensive and hands on training combined with industry involvement and the ability to apply what students have learned through an internship. Humber provides students with essential skills such as venue selection, logistic and time planning, staging, selection of food and beverage, budgeting, staffing, post- event evaluation, and professional expectations. Students will learn to design, develop, co-ordinate and manage a broad range of events such as corporate meeting planning; film, documentary and music festivals; not-for-profit experiential events and galas; brand experience; consumer events; and trade shows.

Additionally, students will gain transferable, practical knowledge and skills in management practices such as planning, design, marketing, human resource and volunteer management, sponsorship, catering management, budgeting, risk management, and event evaluation - for in-person or online/virtual events. Faculty are chosen for their expertise and experience in the event management field and many continue to work in the industry.
