Event management is an integral part of Hospitality and Banqueting.

The event management industry in India is poised to clock a GAGR of 18%, increasing from Rs. 8 billion in 2007 to Rs. 24 billion in 2012. With rising incomes, people are also spending more on wedding, parties and other personal functions. This re-iterates the significant applicability of event management in the field of hospitality management.
