Planning/organization and management of cultural projects (e.g. concerts, film festivals, trade fairs). The tasks in the organization include conception and planning of events, tours or exhibitions. For this purpose, artists have to be engaged, contracts have to be negotiated. An essential part of the work is calculating and monitoring costs and bringing everything together to form a whole. Often, funding has to be applied for and sponsors have to be found. Often, measures in the area of press and public relations are also part of the field of activity of a senior cultural manager.

The fields of event management and cultural management merge seamlessly.
