The Event Management Association (EMA), the only professional industry body in Sri Lanka for event management, with a membership of over 50, sheds light on the often unseen, yet crucial role that professional event managers play in creating and delivering successful events and fostering a thriving industry within the country and the region. 
It aims to raise awareness among corporates and individuals about the significant benefits they stand to gain when working with a member, endorsed by the EMA.

Rigorous qualification processes ensure the EMA members possess extensive experience, proven industry certifications and an unwavering commitment to continuous learning.
