17 Jul 09 Event Planner Certification
Meeting and Event Planning is a multi-billion dollar industry, and corporations are recognizing the need for meeting planners to hone their skills and to become more proficient at what they do. Too much money is at stake! Associations raise much of their yearly operating funds from their annual meeting, and many non-profit organizations raise a high percentage of their funds from special events.
There are several associations of Meeting Professionals that are dedicated to the education of meeting and event planners. More and more colleges and universities are offering certificate programs as well as degree programs in Meeting and Event Planning.
Having the right certification and education will help meeting and planners not only get the projects they want, but also offers the skills and knowledge to succeed.
