The present invention relates to an event management method and apparatus, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for managing a schedule at an event.

Various international events influence industrial development. One meeting of MICE (meeting incentives convention events and exhibition) attracts large-scale tourists and spends about twice as much as general tourists, making it a high value-added service industry that has a ripple effect on income and employment creation. .

The average expenditure per capita of the foreign participants who participated in the international conference held in Korea in 2013 was $ 2,621 and the expenditure per person of the general tourist was $ 1,648. As the global MICE industry continues to grow with globalization, Korea has shown rapid growth in the number of international conferences, but it is insufficient in creating economic added value.

The number of international conferences held is 12,212 in 2014 and has been on the rise since the financial crisis.

The production induction effect of Korea's MICE industry reached 41 trillion won in 2012, and the number of international conferences has risen rapidly from 15 in 2006 to 4th in 2014, but the proportion of MICE industry is lower than that of developed countries.

Korea's MICE industry to GDP is 0.45%, which is lower than the US (1.05%), Singapore (1.91%), Australia (2.47%) and the UK (1.67%).

Korea has a total exhibition area of 28.0 million ㎡ (15th place) and a largest exhibition area of 10.4 million ㎡ (11th place) in terms of the size of exhibition / meeting facilities, and 19 places with 0.6 rooms per 100 tourists in terms of accommodation scale. Have a stomach
