Testimonials

My experience was unique; it was an enriching and highly rewarding journey, and I feel very fortunate to be part of the program. I have learned many valuable things throughout the program. However, I can categorize them into practical experience and knowledge-based experience. These can be gained by delving deeper into the events sector, working closely with the team, and acquiring hands-on experience.

Majd Al-Omari

My experience in the Event Pioneers program was exceptional and rich with benefits. I learned a lot about time management, effective communication, and teamwork. The experience also enhanced my self-confidence, innovation skills, and creative thinking. We gained valuable knowledge from the program, including event management, visitor experience, and financial management for events. Additionally, the courses provided by EHL were highly practical and beneficial, offering us deep insights into the hospitality industry. We learned about global best practices and how to apply them in our local environment.

Abdullah Al-Zaben

An enriching and enjoyable experience at the same time, where we learned a lot and it helped us start our professional lives in a better way. We learned many things, starting with how to discover our passion and align it with our goals. We also learned about innovation from one of the world’s best universities, MIT, took a course in financial analysis, and finally received a training course in event management, provided by one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious universities in hospitality, EHL. What I liked most was that the courses and curricula offered to us were innovative and diverse, which helped us gain deep insights into the event industry and understand this promising sector better.
