Greetings,
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 IAAM Europe did something about it with the proud opening of the European Academy for Venue Management (EAVM), in conjunction with IAVM World Headquarters and with the generous help of the IAVM Foundation. Students from all over Europe (Portugal, Finland, England, Hungary, Australia, the Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland), Dubai and even Brasil have attended the previous very successful three years in 2007, 2008 and 2010.
From 28 August - 2 September 2011, EAVM will open its doors once again, in close cooperation with Bucks New University, at the Hotel New York in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, a listed historical building that once housed the Holland-America Line.
The EAVM is a two year course which, upon completion, gives the participants full university credits, which can also be transferred to other European universities. 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 IAVM’s very successful Public Assembly Facility Management School in the U.S.A., which celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, and similar schools in Australia.

The curriculum at the Academy is comprehensive and tailored to European venue management practices and procedures. Instructors include some of the most respected venue management professionals in Europe. Students will also hear from highly regarded experts in specialised fields. They will also receive text and course material which has been copyrighted by IAVM. It is unavailable through any other European venue management educational programme. Also, there will be site visits to the Amsterdam ArenA and other venues in the area. We look forward welcoming you and/or your employees on 28 August 2011.
Yours Truly,
John Siehl
