The Trivandi Academy was launched in May 2024 with the aim to professionalise the major events industry through education, training and innovation. This will be achieved through certified training courses that will upskill both prospective and established major event professionals as they prepare to deliver complex major events, as well as through research, thought leadership and the sharing of knowledge, learnings and insights that support the continual improvement of the major events industry. The launch also saw the roll-out of the Academy’s first academic module, Major Events 101, the first module of its kind to be developed and delivered by practicing industry-leaders and university professors. It provides a solid grounding in the planning and operations of complex world class events and is Level 3 accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
