Meeting and Event Planning Certificate Program

• I started this program at California State University, Dominguez Hills for people who are interested in getting a real perspective on today’s Meeting and Events Industry.    The instructors are industry “veterans” with a wealth of experience to share with our students.

Event Management Syllabus – Virtual

• I also started an online certificate through UCLA Extension – Event Management Essentials:  Planning & Budgeting

This is a great course to get a more in depth material and more academic.  The first course in our two-part event management essentials series covers the core basics from idea generation to successful completion. Topics covered include the meetings industry and profession, strategic meetings, project and meeting management, event design and experience, budgeting basics, site and venue selection, risk management, contracts and negotiations, registration and housing, and marketing–all of which play a key part in planning a successful event. In addition, students will start the first part of a capstone project, which will give them a chance to put into practice all that was learned in this course.
