An event manager is a specialist who can organize any event: a festival, festival, exhibition, conference, training, or sporting event.
The manager controls every stage of the event: comes up with the idea and allocates the budget, buys props and chooses the venue, keeps documentation and makes sure that all participants feel comfortable.
