Learn the secrets to planning flawless business meetings,
events, & incentives.
Corporate Meeting & Event Planning
In the world of event planning, there might not be a more lucrative, dynamic, exciting, and opportunity-filled niche than corporate meeting planning.
Whether you want to become a corporate meeting & event planner or if you work for a company and you've been assigned a meeting to plan, one thing is for certain: there is a lot to learn in order to make your meeting or event go smoothly. Let's face it; there is so much riding on the success of this meeting, and you don't want anything to go wrong.
Not to mention, there's a budget to stick to you; and you're (justifiably) concerned that your lack of experience can cost you more than you (or your company) can manage. Meetings are highly visible and when something goes wrong, it can go terribly wrong and with big, often detrimental, consequences. This is not the time to attempt to just "wing it" or fumble your way through; there is a lot at stake, including money, reputations, and business.
Our Corporate Meeting & Event Planning courses and live workshops are ideal for companies who want to train existing employees on every aspect of meetings, events, & incentives. This saves the company from having to outsource expensive planners or meeting planning companies; which can save thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars.
Our training is also ideal for the beginner event planner who is interested in the exciting world of corporate event planning; who realizes the endless opportunities in the corporate planning industry and wants to build a long, lucrative, and exciting career.

Who Is the Corporate Meeting & Event Planning Class For?
There are usually two specific types of people who are interested in learning more about corporate meeting planning:
- People who want to become corporate meeting planners: Perhaps you love the idea of planning events, but also have an interest or a background in business. You love the concept of how meetings & events are an important part of the success of most businesses, and you want to be a part of it. You are incredibly organized and like the logistics side of planning. You like the idea of working with big budgets to make a big impact; and realize that corporate meeting planning offers plenty of opportunity for consistent, well-paying work as well as opportunities to be part of some really incredible events.
- People who have been asked to plan a meeting as part of their job: Perhaps you never saw yourself as a planner at all, but as part of your job (often either as the administrative assistant or the marketing person), you have suddenly been handed the task of planning your company's upcoming meeting. The problem is, you have absolutely no clue where to begin. On top of your regular work responsibilities, you now have to learn how to plan a meeting! You'd love to outsource this to an experienced planner, but you just don't have the budget; or, you're worried it won't get done correctly so you need to take it on yourself. The pressure to get it right can be overwhelming; so your first step is to reach out for help.
Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is this: there is a lot more to corporate meeting planning than most people realize, until it's time to sit down and do it. And you're taking the first step by doing your research and considering asking for help.
