Event planning is an exciting
and growing industry, as well as a unique career opportunity for
anyone with a passion for the planning and
organizing of events.
The Corporate Event Channel is a valuable information resource, not
only for clients searching to hire an event, party, meeting or wedding
planner but also for planners of events to present their event
management companies and capabilities to the public.
It is also a great resource for companies that are searching for
event planning solutions as well as for students that are
considering a career in the event planning industry.
This site contains informative details
about the seamless planning of events, event locations, arranged by states and
cities as well as descriptions of different types of events and
their crucial planning requirements.
You will also find an event planner database so you can find event
planning companies in your local area that are available to
assist you when planning an event of any kind.
The career section aims to inform potential students about their
opportunities in the event planning business and how to apply
successfully for an internship, a full-time job or even start your
own business.

Event Planning Courses
This page has been visited
times since 8/1/10
Event planning courses and programs are
widely available. You can take classes at community colleges, state
colleges and universities and also online. While we cannot recommend
specific schools or courses, we can give you guidance on what
knowledge you need to gain from any particular program.
Courses - Although there are no strict educational guidelines for
event planners, many community colleges offer certificate programs.
Hotel and restaurant management programs are also offered at the
community college level. The average yearly tuition of community
colleges varies by state. However, you can expect to spend
approximately $3,000 a year. Online certificate programs range from
$500 to $2,000.
Most employers seek experienced planners. If you need experience to
round out you resume, we suggest volunteering for a community event,
a local non-profit or perhaps a church bazaar. Any relevant
experience will help. A solid course of study should prepare you to:
* Understand how to research, plan, design, coordinate and
ultimately evaluate an event.
* Review and determine the different marketing strategies available
to you that would be appropriate for the event you are managing.
* Recognize the various types of events and understand their unique
requirements.
* Submit a complete project proposal for an event.
* Understand what to look for during an event site inspection.
* Understand the budgeting process of event management.
* Learn about software that is available to help you manage an
event.
* Learn communication concepts and brush up on leadership abilities.
* Learn to manage volunteers and staff within an organization.
* Gain perspective in contracting resources such as catering, a/v
technicians, lodging and entertainment.
* Understand various design elements and how they relate to event
management.
It is important to find a program that has a proven track record of
success. We recommend that you supplement course work with on the
job training or perhaps an internship. It will help balance your
career. After all, real world experience is priceless!
