Welcome to THE website that will show you how to begin your career in event planning!
Do you dream of creating a career that is fun, dynamic, and always exhilarating? Do you envision escaping the every-day mundane boredom of an ordinary job and instead, working on events where no two days are ever the same? Do you see yourself using your creative side to design amazing events that will be talked about for years to come?
Then you will LOVE working in the world of events, meetings, and incentive trips!
Imagine....
A "Phantom of the Opera" themed dinner at the Sydney Opera House...
A "Gone With The Wind" party at a southern plantation outside New Orleans...
A "Pirate Party" on a beach on a Caribbean island...
...all planned by you. Event planner extraordinaire!
You've heard of people that have careers in event planning. You know you want a job full of excitement, glamour, fun, and a little (or a lot of) travel.
The problem? You have no idea how the event industry works. You don't have any experience. You're not even sure you really understand what an event planner does every day, or how they create these incredible events.
This is one of the only sites that will help you learn about the many opportunities and event planning positions within the event planning industry, how they fit together, and how you can find your perfect event job. Sure, there are many sites out there listing job descriptions.
But no one else shows you, step by step, how to start your career in event planning (even if you don't have any experience)!
Other Jobs in Event Planning
Maybe you want to work in the exciting world of special events or corporate conferences, but you're not sure you want to be the actual event planner (or don't quite have enough experience yet).
There are many, many opportunities for event-related jobs in the event & meeting industry, and this site outlines them all. Here are a few examples:
Perhaps you prefer not to put all the work into planning, and instead would rather fly all over the world and merely work these exciting events, meetings, and incentives. As an on-site event manager, you work as a freelancer and literally fly in, oversee a meeting or event, and fly out, off to the next exciting destination.
Do you live in a great destination location for events and meetings and would rather stay closer to home? You can take in-bound groups on a tour of your city, or on exciting excursions, or to elegant restaurants for dinner; or assist meeting planners with the decorations, entertainment, and catering for their event. As an expert in your city, you'd be a great fit at a Destination Management Company.
Or maybe you see yourself as the in-house planner for one of the largest and most elegant hotel and resort chains on the planet. As a Conference Services Manager, you can work exciting events for a great hotel chain, which would allow you (if you wanted to) to move from city to city, state to state, and even country to country managing events held at the hotel; or stay in your home city and merely enjoy the many perks of working for an international hotel chain.
Whatever your dream may be, there is a place for you in the world of events.
And don't worry. Even if you don't have any experience or background in any of these exciting career fields, this site will show you the many ways to "break into" the dynamic events industry. You will learn how one of the largest industries in existence is structured, and the many career and job opportunities available.
The options are endless; you are limited only by your own determination!
So what are you waiting for? Your dream life awaits....
