Introduction to Special Events
Learn how to plan successful special events such as receptions, grand
openings, and theme parties. We will provide you with the basic
guidelines and tips you need to identify the purpose of the event,
define the event's format, select a location, and develop event
activities.
Meeting Planning Basics
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
involved in planning or coordinating a meeting, you can ensure a
smooth running event. We will provide you with valuable resources for
finding information, checklists, and event vendors. We also give you
information about career opportunities in the event planning industry.
Food and Beverage Planning
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. We will teach you how to
effectively communicate with catering staff, how to read contracts and
confirmations, and on-site coordination guidelines.
Event Marketing and Promotion
Effective marketing and promotion to your audience is critical to your
event's success. You will learn several marketing tools and
techniques, and how to use them to your organization's advantage. You
will get practical strategies in creating an event marketing
communication action plan before, during, and after your program.
Site Selection & Negotiation
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, effective site inspection, how
to contract with a site, cancellation clauses, and ADA requirements.
Financial Management of Meetings and Events
Creating a budget and developing a plan to implement it are essential
for the success of any meeting or event. Participants will learn how
to forecast revenues and expenses, how to prepare spreadsheets, cost
control, and profit and loss analysis. Bring your calculator if you
are ready to dive into the core of professional event planning!
Starting your Own Business in the Meeting and Event Planning Industry
When is the best time to start your own business? Think you have what
it takes to succeed? We will explore the basics in building an event
business, from building your reputation and potential client base, to
effective marketing, available resources and the necessary steps to
help you succeed.
Sponsorships and Fundraising
Learn how to generate multiple revenue streams, design and sell
corporate sponsorships, and get free Marketing and Public Relations

Social Media in Event Marketing and Planning
Learn how to use Social Media to increase attendance at your meeting
or event. A lack of event marketing is the number one reason why
events fail. Marketing starts months prior to the event with
announcing. During the event you can continue to market to those who
couldn't make it. After the event you can promote your next event.
