CSULB Meetings and Event Planning Certificate Program - 
Meetings, "green" events, conventions, and retreats represent a $95 billion dollar industry that continues to grow. Despite the cut-backs that many businesses are facing, they will still be in need of professionals who can create an exciting and memorable experience.
A professional Meeting and Events Planner is much more than the 'wedding or party planner' of the last century. The professional Meeting and Events Planner must be aware of current trends, cost-effective resources, and customer service strategies to stay competitive and grow their business, or to be a partner in their organization's vision and goals.
The modules in this program will get you there. Taught by professionals in the field, each class will cover the basics you will need to work in the industry. Field trips to local hotels, interaction with staff, and real-world projects are a part of what makes this program invaluable to the Meeting Planning Professional.
Select modules will feature field trips. This semester's Site Selection module will be held at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach.
