Venue Management School is held annually at Oglebay Resort & Conference Center in Wheeling, West Virginia. The VMS curriculum covers topics such as event management, life safety, marketing and advertising, crowd management and the guest experience. The second year of VMS covers areas such as leadership and image, cost control, risk management and insurance, and strategic business planning.
“The VMS is a two-year program consisting of courses of intensive instruction,” said Cindy Warke, Executive Director of Gateway Center. “I strongly encourage the staff to attend the program not only because it’s a rewarding experience but equally as important because of the sense of camaraderie that exists among the students and faculty.” According to Warke, Venue Management School is considered to be one of the best professional education programs available for venue managers. Those new to the public assembly facility industry, or managers looking to expand their overall understanding, will find solid principles and practices for venue management in the VMS program.
