• Understanding B.A.T. Budgets, Agendas, and Timelines.
You have been given the responsibility of planning an event. Let us show you where to begin. By learning just a few of the basic concepts as an event planner involved in planning or coordinating a meeting, you can ensure a seamless event.

Learn how to enhance your programs with successful food and beverage planning. We will explain policies and guarantees. We will also provide formulas for order pricing, tips on menu planning, and how to plan for special menus and theme parties for memorable events.

• Digital Meeting Planning.

Integrating virtual and hybrid options are a necessary part of event planning.  You will learn how to craft a meeting to engage attendees, create memorable moments, and prove event success beyond a computer screen.

• Site Selection & Negotiation.
For event planners, selecting a location is a complicated process involving more than just booking rooms or choosing menus. We will cover how to make the initial contact with a site, what to negotiate, and effective site inspection.

• Event Revenue & Income.
Event Planners are responsible for creating a budget and increasing operational revenue. Participants will learn how to forecast revenues, expenses, cost control, and analysis. Learn the income of event planners from a novice to an expert.

• Starting your Own Business in the Events Industry.
Are you already an Event Planner? Do you think you have what it takes to succeed? We will explore the basics in building an event planning business, from building your reputation and potential client base, to effective marketing, available resources and the necessary steps to help you succeed.

The role of fundraising often falls into the lap of Event Planners. Learn how to design and sell corporate sponsorships and get free marketing and public relations for your events.
