EVENT PLANNING

Meeting, convention, and event planners coordinate all aspects of professional meetings and events. They choose meeting locations, arrange transportation, and coordinate other details. They also work onsite at hotels or convention centers, as well as travel to attend events and visit prospective meeting sites. As globalization increases and businesses continue to recognize the value of professionally planned meetings, demand for meetings and events is projected to grow. Job opportunities are preferable for candidates with a degree in hospitality or tourism management. These in-demand professionals plan social events for hotels, corporations, theme parks, cruise lines and non-profit organizations.
