Conference and Event Management is not easily mastered, and it takes plenty of creativity to design an event that is memorable and meaningful. It also takes careful attention to detail, adaptability, effective delegating, and a lot of work. While this two-day training course is specifically for corporate event planning, the elements here can also be applied to more personal event planning, such as anniversaries, birthday gatherings, weddings, etc.
Learning objectives for this training course include: planning a complete corporate event, including an agenda, budget, goals, venue, audience, food, and whatever else your client needs; keeping your event on budget; designing an advertising and marketing plan that includes a comprehensive use of media, take-aways, and/or swag bags; determining whether partners, sponsors, and volunteers can help to make your event unforgettable; creating an atmosphere of service that delegates will remember; selecting speakers and a master of ceremonies to add impact to your event; creating a diversity plan; evaluating the process once the event is wrapped up.
Our Conference and Event Management training materials package includes everything a trainer needs to coordinate a successful training event! Your one-time courseware purchase provides you with customizable, easy to use materials, and unlimited print on demand and teaching opportunities.
