Event manager in French

Event management has no protected title in France. Employers usually expect a Bac+3 to Bac+5 in communication, business, tourism or event management, and many start as assistant event manager (« assistant chef de projet événementiel »). Events are subject to safety rules for venues open to the public (« établissements recevant du public »), sometimes with a review by the local safety commission, and public events may require declarations to the town hall or prefecture. Music played in public involves SACEM fees, and organisers who stage live shows regularly must declare themselves as « entrepreneur de spectacles vivants » (still often called the « licence »). Search with « chef de projet événementiel », « chargé de projet événementiel » and « event manager ».
