When choosing a venue, check with the meeting facility to see what is included in the space rental. If A/V equipment, tables, chairs or decorations are included or available onsite, event planning is much easier.
There is no training necessary to practice event planning. However, to increase reputation and marketability in the industry, accreditation is recommended. Be sure that the accreditation is through a reputable association such as Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the International Special Events Society (ISES), the Convention Industry Council (CIC), or the Society of Government Meeting Professionals.
The best way to start as an event planner is by working with an established professional. This will help you to get an idea of the career without having to invest your own capitol initially.
The event planning market is a growing field. Event planners are used in wedding planning, graduation parties, birthday events and now even planning the perfect proposal.
Event planning and production involves planning ceremonies, parties, concerts, or conventions. There is no formal education requirements for an event planning and production job.
It really depends on the people in charge of the conference event planning and also what needs to be done. I suggest meeting in person twice a month for the first 2 months with some virtual conferences in between. Then as the conference draws nearer, meet more often to get everything in order for the event.
