Case Study: Manchester Metropolitan University prepares industry-ready event professionals with OnePlan Events

Manchester Metropolitan University trains 3 higher education event programs with OnePlan

Manchester Metropolitan University sought to provide its event management students with practical, industry-relevant experience to enhance their employability. To bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application, the university partnered with vendor OnePlan Events to integrate its event planning software into the curriculum.

Using OnePlan, students gained hands-on experience by collaboratively designing a fictitious event and evaluating real case studies on a 2D and 3D canvas. The solution equipped the next generation of event professionals with direct knowledge of site design, crowd safety, and operations. The partnership with OnePlan Events successfully prepared students to be industry-ready, directly enriching their learning experience and significantly increasing their employability.
