European
Academy for Venue Management
 

Innsbruck Austria
Speckbacher Hof.
August 31 – September 4, 2008

New Class and 2nd Year Enrollment

It has been a long held belief, by many European venue managers, that a teaching facility is needed here in Europe, to enrich the knowledge available throughout the Industry. In September 2007 we did something about it. IAAM Europe, in conjunction with IAAM World Headquarters and with the generous help of the IAAM Foundation, proudly opened the European Academy for Venue Management (EAVM) in Innsbruck, Austria. Students from all over Europe, Portugal, Finland, Hungary, England, Austria and the Netherlands attended, what was agreed by all to be, a very successful first year.

In September 2008, EAVM will open its doors once again for 2007’s students to continue from their year One into Two and for a new class of year One.

The EAVM is a two year course which, upon completion, gives pupils an internationally recognised certificate of competence. This is an educational opportunity for directors, managers, supervisors, and others responsible for building and event operations in arenas, stadia, congress centres, performing arts theatres and other similar venues. The Academy has been modelled upon the IAAM’s very successful Public Assembly Facility Management School in the U.S.A, which celebrated its 21st anniversary last year, and similar schools in Australasia.

Curriculum at the Academy will be comprehensive and will be tailored to European venue management practices and procedures. Instructors will include some of the most respected venue management professionals in Europe. Students will also hear from highly regarded experts in specialized fields. They will also receive text and course material which has been copyrighted by IAAM. It is unavailable through any other European venue management educational programme.

We look forward to welcoming you and/or your employees in September, 2008.
