Subject Aim:
Event risk management is an integral process applied universally across all facets of event management. Employing the formal risk process is crucial for navigating the intricacies of events and mitigating uncertainties associated with risk management outcomes.

In this subject, students will interpret and apply key risk management standards and related legislation to events, using both an operational and project management approach. In addition, students will identify risk categories, develop, and implement a risk management plan, and register for an event while ensuring compliance, communication and data analysis for ongoing continuous improvements.
