Effective Meeting and Event Planning (P790)

Techniques and Methodologies to Plan a Wide Variety of Meetings and Events

Limited space is still available for the February 4-5 session. Please call Leila at 613-234-2020 ext. 18 or email register@pmctraining.com to check availability and to register.

Many organizations host or participate in a variety of meetings and events, large and small, throughout the year. When properly executed, these meetings and events can deliver a tremendous return on investment in terms of exposure, education, marketing, sales or other objectives. Conversely, the impact of a poorly executed meeting or event can be substantial.

All too often the very critical role of organizing meetings and events falls to someone who has had no formal training in this field. Facilitated by a Certified Meeting Planner, this two day workshop will provide you with a sound foundation for successfully planning and executing a wide variety of meetings and events.

This is a two-day workshop in Ottawa.

Space is still available for all course dates listed, unless otherwise noted.
