The methodology used for the construction of this study consists of exploratory and descriptive research, qualitative  in nature, with a bibliographic review to support the proposed discussion.  In terms of the results of this experience, professional practice in the events sector is seen as the main factor contributing to the professional formation of students, through their involvement in more than forty events during the second half of 2017 and through to the end of 2018.
