Overview

Hotel Event and Conference Planning Training Course is a one-week foundation programme for hotel event coordinators, conference-services staff, banquet teams, and venue professionals. Participants convert a client brief into objectives, attendee profiles, schedules, budgets, room and venue requirements, accommodation blocks, food and beverage, registration, audiovisual support, supplier plans, risks, event-day coordination, and evaluation. The programme focuses on practical hotel and conference-services planning rather than VIP protocol or live executive command. Each participant leaves with an Event and Conference Plan. Agile Leaders Training Center provides this course to build controlled and guest-focused event planning.
