Course Overview

Corporate hospitality can be defined as the entertainment of clients by organisations to promote business, especially at sporting or other such public events. These events could be for social causes as well but are funded by the organisation.

With the cut-throat competition existing in the market these days, organisations need to look beyond daily usual business interactions and transactions with clients to sustain their relationship and retain the clients.

Today, client relationship goes beyond delivering good quality services and products in less time. It now involves building a relationship that fosters goodwill, friendship and trust beyond work.

This concept has proven successful for many businesses and has now become a trend and mandate in every organisations’ growth and client relationship management strategy.

Word of mouth is the best publicity but not the only branding technique that can attract new clients. It is thus extremely critical that to be visible and in the minds of potential customers, being physically present and directly interacting with potential customers is the need of the hour, besides other marketing and branding strategies.

Organisations also organise many internal events to keep in touch, educate and foster trust among internal stakeholders, mainly employees. Conferences, workshops, etc. are some events planned to share ideas, growth plans and strategies, etc. of the organisation to enable employees to see benefit and prospect in working with the organisation.

Conference management is the executive management of a conference within a company or for a client. It involves tools and techniques that help in planning, organising, leading and controlling. Whether small or big, an organisation’s capabilities and the prospect are majorly judged on the first impression that they create in the minds of internal and external stakeholders as well as clients.

Therefore, seamless planning, organisation and execution of events is extremely important to ensure that the required objective of the event is met, while also embedding trust and respect in the minds of internal and external stakeholders and clients.

There are a number of things to be kept in mind when planning and organising events, and many companies outsource this responsibility for the sheer skill and confidence it requires to organise such events.

This Zoe training course will empower you with complete knowledge and information of planning, organising and managing corporate events, mainly hospitality events and conferences. The knowledge and confidence gained through this course will assist you in successfully carrying forth responsibilities related to event management for your organisation.

The training course will also enhance your skill and capability of undertaking related roles and responsibilities across any other organisation or industry, thus increasing opportunities for growth and progression.
