Events are a large part of both our personal and professional lives! We all take part in events, whether that be a family wedding or an annual work conference, but unless you’ve planned before, it can be challenging to understand what it takes to piece a successful event together. This event management workshop is designed for you, if within your workplace role, you need to conceptualise, plan and assist with hosting a business event (and possibly that surprise friend’s birthday too!).

If you are bringing an event concept with you, we ask you provide a brief description when you register for the workshop.
Facilitator – Stacey Thompson
Stacey Thompson is now local Southland gal, who has an absolute passion for all things events and weddings.
With a national wedding, event and hire business, I live and breathe planning. Events have been a passion of mine, right from when I completed my Graduate Management Traineeship with Accor hotels, after my degree at SIT, and I have continued to be involved in the industry ever since. With experience in a range of hotels, catering companies, not for profits, and most recently with the launch of my own business, weddings and corporate retreats. Tutoring back at SIT was also a highlight for two semesters, lecturing Event Management, Tourism and Business classes on the Hotel Management programme. I am eager to share knowledge with local businesses and bring that spark into many more local events.
