This immersive training programme, Intro to Event Industry IT, will take place on the 9th and 10th of June, offering 30 qualified participants a unique opportunity to enhance their skills in event technology management and gain hands-on experience.
The Intro to Event Industry IT Workshop aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the fast-paced event industry. It is designed for event professionals, IT enthusiasts, and individuals seeking to develop expertise in managing event technology infrastructure under a new Straight Up Technologies (SUT) pilot program called Straight Up Technologies University (SUTU). Attendees will acquire a comprehensive understanding of event IT essentials, provided by the Cisco Networking Academy, and gain practical experience through real-world simulations and hands-on exercises. Key highlights of the workshop include:
In-depth: Training Participants will receive expert guidance from industry veterans with years of experience in event IT management. The Cisco Networking Academy training modules cover a wide range of topics, including event networking, 802.11 (Wi-Fi) fundamentals, switching, Layer 1 infrastructure, and more.
Hands-on Experience: The workshop emphasises practical learning, providing attendees (participants) with hands-on experience in setting up and troubleshooting event technology equipment. Participants will have the opportunity to work with Enterprise Level technologies commonly used in the industry, enhancing their confidence and proficiency.
Networking Opportunities: The workshop provides an excellent platform for networking and collaboration. Participants will connect with like-minded professionals, industry experts, and potential mentors, fostering valuable relationships within the event technology community.
Placement Upon successful completion of the workshop, selected participants will have the opportunity to work at prestigious events such as The Open, which will take place in Merseyside this summer as well as other Tier 1 global events selected by SUT.
