Bart Derolez

In 2004, Bart Derolez was a pioneer in Flanders, when he created Events Management for VIVES University and he has been the programme leader ever since. With a core team of lecturers and events industry specialists he managed to shape a dedicated and challenging study programme.
Next to his role as a team leader, he teaches event-related topics such as French for Event Managers, Events Industry Deontology, Leisure Events. In addition, he is involved in practical trainings and projects. It was Bart who, as first one, felt the need to reach out and stretch internationally, to launch a network of event studies key players. This resulted in STRETCH and the SDG Action Festival.
