Events Open Days

Join us for Open Day at Holmesglen as we show you how an events course can launch a career in a global industry. Our students are immersed in practical experiences at festivals and conferences, plan and run not for profit events, and build business relationships with key industry contacts. On Open Day, you will get to talk to teachers about the skills you need to start a career as an event organiser. Plus, it is a great opportunity to get a feel for Holmesglen life, from where you will study, to what you can achieve.

  • "White Night was just one of the many placement opportunities made available to myself and other students. Opportunities on large scale events the likes of Knox City Festival, State School Spectacular, the Australian Dental Conference, Brewers Feast Festival, the GP Run and so much more. An abundance of options that were not only industry relevant but unobtainable to those outside of the industry."

    Diploma of Event Management/Cert III Live Production Services graduate
  • "Being able to volunteer on an VSSS has opened a lot of doors for me in the event industry. To be a part of an Arena event taught me the skills I needed to tackle other huge events such as the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. Volunteering on VSSS lead to opportunities such as the Asian World Cup Opening Ceremony and White Night, which really propelled my career in events."
