HOSP-1027Meetings and Conventions
The meetings and conventions sector is the fastest
growing industry in Canada. Catering and convention management involves complex
planning, organization, and attention to detail. By the end of this course, students
will be able to describe the process that an event coordinator needs to follow
in order to plan and execute a convention from beginning to end. Emphasis will
be on the formulation of banquet event orders, room set-ups, event billings and
staffing. Instructional methods for the course will include lectures, group
activities, facility tours, and projects designed to apply hospitality catering
and event planning strategies.
