In today’s fast-paced corporate world, it’s not uncommon for event responsibilities to land in the laps of those with little or no formal training—whether that’s a PA, EA, marketing executive, or office manager.
From organising annual conferences and Christmas parties to handling product launches or executive retreats, many in-house professionals find themselves “just” handling events, often on top of their existing roles.
At The Event School London, we’ve worked with hundreds of self-taught professionals in this position. We understand the pressure of managing high-stakes company events without the benefit of a structured education in event management.
That’s precisely why we developed our MasterClass in Corporate Event Management—to give in-house planners the tools, strategies and confidence they need to deliver events at a professional standard.
Bridging the Knowledge Gap
Even the most capable professionals often express a familiar concern: “I think I’m doing it right… but I’m not entirely sure.” It’s the uncertainty of not knowing what you don’t know that can undermine confidence and hold careers back.
Many participants come to the course asking themselves:
Am I using the best processes?
Are there more efficient ways to plan?
Am I meeting the standards expected in the wider industry?
Could I take on larger, more complex or higher-profile events in a different role or organisation?
The MasterClass is designed to answer all of these questions—and more.
We offer a structured, practical approach to managing corporate events of all types and scales. Participants leave not only with new knowledge but with a sense of clarity and confidence that fundamentally shifts how they approach their work.
Designed for the Realities of Corporate Life
Corporate events are incredibly varied. You may be managing shareholder meetings, product launches, away days, workshops, awards dinners, trade show stands or company retreats—all within a single year.
Regardless of format, what all these events demand is an exceptional level of organisation, strategic planning and a focus on creating seamless, engaging experiences for busy participants.
This MasterClass was built specifically for:
PAs and EAs managing events alongside executive support
Marketing professionals responsible for brand-led experiences
Office managers and coordinators who’ve been “handed” the events brief
In-house event planners with experience, but no formal training
Career-focused individuals ready to upgrade their skills and unlock new opportunities
Whether you’ve been managing events for several years or have recently taken on the responsibility, this course helps formalise your knowledge and introduces professional standards and methodologies that ensure you’re not only coping, but excelling.
A Cohort of Learners, United by Ambition
One of the most inspiring aspects of this course is the calibre and diversity of participants. From different industries, roles and countries, they come together with a shared desire to elevate their practice and do things better. Their hunger to learn is palpable—and the energy in the room reflects a collective commitment to excellence.
It’s a privilege to teach this MasterClass, knowing the transformative impact it has had on so many in-house planners. Over the years, we’ve seen participants leave with renewed confidence, armed with concrete strategies to make their planning more efficient and their events more impactful.
Invest in Your Professional Journey
If you’re managing corporate events without formal training, or you’re ready to take your skills to the next level, this MasterClass is for you. It’s not just about learning how to plan better events—it’s about validating your experience, strengthening your credentials and positioning yourself for future success.
