Working in events, exhibitions, and installations within the fashion and creative industries involves planning and delivering unique and engaging experiences, from fashion shows, product launches, and influencer events to exhibitions, performance art and brand installations. These roles require a mix of creativity, organisation, and problem-solving, as well as strong communication skills to coordinate with multiple teams and stakeholders. Tasks often include managing logistics, booking venues and suppliers, creating guest lists, promoting events, and ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day.
