our team

Cutting Edge Events is a six persons team of the Event Management Postgraduate Certificate Program at the Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning. We have been commissioned to plan, manage, produce and host an event to benefit the Humber Scholarship Fund and the Canadian Cancer Society. Throughout the course of the Event Management Program, members of our team have been given the opportunity to develop and demonstrate an understanding of event planning; event production; event financial management; sales and sponsorship, event marketing, human resource and volunteer management, and catering management. With the knowledge and experienced gained from the Event Management Program, members of our team have be able to transfer the professional skills acquired to plan and execute our Hair for Care event.

 

Further to the experience attained from the Event Management Program, members within our team have extensive experience relating to the planning, managing, and the production of hosting a live event. Every member within our team has a vast variety of volunteering experience in charity, not-for-profit and fundraising events. The experience in volunteering that our team has encompasses a wide range of experience such as engaging with event coordinators and staff, employees, participants, attendees and vendors. Members of our team also bring volunteering experience in the departments of registration, food and beverage, coat check, booths and vendors, logistics and a high level of customer service. Other volunteering experiences include volunteer management, venue design, décor construction and quick and effective troubleshooting skills. Members within our team have volunteering experience in a variety of haircutting/hairstyling charity events and cut-a-thons. With a distinct array of volunteering experience, the experience acquired by team members is transferable to the Hair for Care fundraising initiative.
