Event Planning Magazines

The meetings, events, and incentives industry is huge, dynamic, and ever-changing. One of the best ways to stay on top of what’s happening in the industry is to subscribe to a few event planning magazines. This field is all about who knows who, and who’s done what; so it helps if you stay on top of it all!

You also can get your finger on the pulse of what’s been done, or what’s currently “hot.” If you go in for an interview for a planner position and think your idea is unique and special, wouldn’t it be nice to know if it really is, or just another “ho hum, been there, done that” idea?

And, years down the road, when you are a successful senior planner at your dream job, you can look back on your past issues and get ideas from “reviving” old ones and adding a twist. I can’t urge you enough to subscribe to a few of the top event planning magazines; you can never know too much!
