Planning/organization and management of cultural projects (e.g. concerts, film festivals, trade fairs). Organizational tasks include the conception and planning of events, tours and exhibitions. This involves hiring artists and negotiating contracts. Calculating and monitoring costs and bringing everything together into a big picture is an essential part of the work. Funding often has to be applied for and sponsors sought. Press and public relations activities are often also part of the job of a senior cultural manager.

The areas of event management and cultural management merge seamlessly.
