Event Planning and Management Certificate

Event Planning and Management Certificate Student works before an event

The Event Planning and Management Certificate is designed for current SIU students and adult learners who wish to have additional ​event-related skills. Students can enter the event industry generally from multiple angles, but these courses ensure they have more than just a foundational knowledge because we focus on marketing and sponsorships, risk management, entertainment production, and virtual events more specifically in the individual courses.
