Malaysia’s events and business tourism sector continues to be a significant economic driver, contributing billions of ringgit annually and supporting a wide ecosystem of venues, suppliers, and professional service providers. As the industry matures, expectations around governance, safety, sustainability, inclusivity, and return on investment have increased substantially. Many event delivery challenges today arise not from creativity, but from gaps in structured planning, budgeting, risk management, stakeholder coordination, and post-event evaluation, particularly within regulated and corporate environments. This two-day Event Management Workshop is designed to address these realities by equipping participants with a practical, end-to-end understanding of professional event management within the Malaysian context. Covering the full event lifecycle, from initiation and concept development to delivery, shutdown, and evaluation—the programme integrates key considerations such as regulatory compliance, organisational policies, accessibility, risk management, and sustainable event practices. Participants will also be introduced to best-practice tools, project management frameworks, and the strategic use of AI to enhance event planning, programming, and operational effectiveness. About the presenter  The workshop is led by Dr Rob Harris, a globally recognised event management educator with extensive international and regional experience.
