Academy Fields has once again proven why its training stands apart: a recent two-day course in Prague didn’t just hand out theory — it put aspiring wedding and event coordinators inside one of the city’s most iconic venues, with working professionals by their side.
Led by Katerina Fields, the intensive program gave attendees a practical, job-ready foundation, a full picture of the profession and today’s event industry, and a clear roadmap for launching their own event management business.
“It’s always a joy to watch participants leave the course with concrete tools, confidence, and a clear sense of how to get started in the industry,” says Katerina Fields, lead instructor at Academy Fields. “Combining theory with hands-on practice at an actual event venue, plus meeting industry professionals, is exactly what takes our graduates furthest.”

A highlight of the course was a visit to one of Prague's most sought-after event venues — the renowned Dancing House. Participants met with the venue's manager and learned how events run there in practice, as well as how they, as future coordinators, can collaborate with the venue.
The course also welcomed professional event photographer Peter Rigo, who shared his hands-on experience and showed how collaboration between an event coordinator and a photographer can lead to happy clients and a flawlessly executed event.
The day naturally included all-day refreshments and an excellent lunch at the Dancing House itself, with a view of Prague Castle.
The entire course was photographed by professional event photographer Peter Rigo, who also shared his event industry know-how. He has extensive experience photographing events in New York, Prague, Bratislava, and Budapest. During the course, he connected with the coordinators and established collaborations for their future events.
