On Friday 14 January 2011 Sheffield Hallam University will be hosting a unique event management master class designed to give Event Managers the tools they need to deliver first class events in a climate of reduced funding.
The UK’s leading event specialists – including three times ‘Event Organiser of the Year’, Mike Richmond from REM Events – will be sharing their innovative and winning strategies. Attendees at the Sheffield Business School master class, can expect insight and inspiration and will leave with new ideas for delivering maximum return on their events.
Other speakers include Vanessa Toulmin from the University of Sheffield and Creative Producer for ‘Showzam: Blackpool’s Festival of Circus Magic and New Variety’, and Mark Spincer, Managing Director of Doncaster Racecourse.
Talks will cover the whole event spectrum, taking in large outdoor events, festivals, event venue management and event evaluation.
The master class will also include a series of workshops which will provide delegates with the opportunity to debate ideas and share their own challenges and successes with peers from the event industry.
Phil Crowther, Event Management Hub Project Leader at Sheffield Hallam University, said:
“The master class is a great opportunity for event organisers to learn from leading event specialists and discover new ways to deliver more-for-less in the challenging economic climate. Attendees will gain real-world practical skills that they’ll be able to implement immediately.”
The Event Management Master Class is presented by The Event Management Hub at Sheffield Business School and runs in partnership with Welcome to Yorkshire and Sheffield City Council. Prices start from just £39 including lunch, tea and coffee.

The Event Management Hub, supported by Sheffield Business School, provides inspiration, ideas and resources to a wide range of event practitioners from across the region and beyond. The Hub is a free-to-access community that holds regular events and also provides an online space where resources and ideas can be shared. It aims to support the development of event practitioners, and enhance the success of events.
The Hub initiative came about after event managers reflected that they don’t have enough time to be strategic, to evaluate their events, and – importantly – to focus on their own development. The idea was to create an informal and friendly community where event practitioners can come together to share experiences and ideas and to learn from others. Hub events are designed to be highly participative, and give attendees a forum to share their particular questions and frustrations.
The Hub is part of Sheffield Business School – one of the largest event educators in the UK – and is supported by a wealth of event management expertise. Combining this with the countless years of experience that practitioners bring, the Hub provides a very healthy environment in which to learn and develop. Although the Hub is not primarily a networking initiative, it does provide practitioners with space to make connections that are of real benefit.
Sheffield Business School is delighted to be at the heart of the Event Management Hub, which is facilitated by Phil Crowther, a Senior Lecturer in Event Management. If you are interested in getting involved, contact Phil at philip.crowther@shu.ac.uk
