exec (@sql)

I am getting errors:

Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Invalid column name 'dateEventDate'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Invalid column name 'timeStartTime'.

Because you SQL script(which you have posted here) doesn't contain the things dateEventDate & timeStartTime.

OR

you forgot to put the single quote for CONVERT() things.
below is working one

SQL

declare @sql varchar(1000)
set @sql='select * from tblEvents where '+'CONVERT (varchar(24),dateEventDate,113)'+ '+'+''' '''+'+'+ 'CONVERT(varchar(20),timeStartTime)'+'>='+'(CONVERT(varchar(24),getdate(),113))' 
exec (@sql)
