2. Professional Conference Management (PCM) Course
As more conferences are being organised in Singapore, individuals will need to be more informed on the various elements involved and be aware of what to expect in this dynamic sector.

Course Objectives:
Ÿ Introduce participants to the basic concepts and elements in organizing conferences
Ÿ Impart industry knowledge and experience to raise standards of conference management in Singapore
Ÿ Practical applications of concepts e.g. marketing, budgeting, programming
Ÿ Participants will be able to apply their knowledge to the real world through case studies

The success of the PCM course is largely due to the slate of experienced senior conference management professionals who take the time from their working schedule to share their experiences with the course participants. The emphasis is on a case-study approach and interactive discussions between the participants and the lecturers, rather than on a dry theoretical presentation of what conference management is all about.
