Event Management Training Classes

Learn the Secrets to Planning Successful Events, Meetings, & Incentives
During Live, Interactive, Hands-On Classes & Workshops

In addition to online training courses, we offer live classes on a variety of topics within the event planning industry. These classes are perfect for those who have been handed the task of planning an event or meeting for their job, or for those who are ready to take control of their future and make their dream of becoming an event planner a reality.

Live event management training has many benefits that online courses just can't offer:

Nothing compares to live, interactive discussions
Questions can be immediately answered
Confusion on any topics can be immediately clarified
Topics can be customized according to the needs of the students in that particular class
When possible, we will tour hotels and venues to observe actual events as they are being set up, and discuss the strategy behind each situation from the perspective of both the planner and the attendee

Generally speaking, there are three ways to participate in our live event management training classes:

If you are relatively new to event planning, then you can take the online course(s) first and then have one day of live training to personalize your education.
If you are relatively new to event planning, then you can also opt to take three days of live training. Three days is what we recommend to learn all of the concepts of basic planning plus the specific training needed for corporate planning.
If you are experienced in event planning but just need to learn about corporate event planning specifically, then you can participate in one day of live training. You can let us know ahead of time what you need to learn specific to your situation and your company; so the training is truly personalized and catered to you.

Topics Covered:

Event Objectives & Goals
Choosing a Venue
Managing Budgets
Setting Up Your Event Space
Understanding the Basics of Audio-Visual

Managing Food & Beverage
Choosing & Managing Presenters & Entertainment
Choosing Decor
Hiring & Managing On-Site Staff (or Volunteers)

Corporate Meeting Planning is one of the most lucrative niches within the event planning industry, and offers consistent year-round work; but it can also be one of the most complex parts of event planning to learn. Therefore this course is best taught live as a small class setting (approximately ten people) or one-on-one at your place of business.

Current Dates: TBD
