Event management is a very interesting and booming industry. Rapidly growing at the rate of 150%, it offers great opportunities to people with an innovation and customer orientation. Event planning can be corporate or non-corporate as it is the types of events that determine the sector. To become an event planner, a person can have any generic graduation degree (which is generally preferred) and join an event management company as an intern. This way you will get hands-on experience and on the job training, however, the pay is very basic ranging from 8k-15k. The other option includes joining an event management institute that will help you polish your skills in the field and also educate you on how to build contacts. A lot of the institutes have placement assistance that might get you a slightly better start. However, one thing to keep in mind is that it is finally entrepreneurship that pays off in the field of event management, so you need to ensure that you build well on your leadership skills.
