flow from one lesson to the next. Each lesson was supported with
leads on additional materials substantiating the lesson. The

were never burdensome; always enjoyable! This course provided an
excellent introduction to the field of event planning and for me

already implementing." "Cynthia-I
just wanted to let you know how pleased I was to find such
personal replies to my posts. You are doing a terrific job of
teaching this class. Thanks for all the helpful hints we are
learning and for the additional time you spend in further

that we are going in the right direction towards our goals. Your
course has helped point me towards the next step. I have started
making contacts with organizations for volunteer work. I will be
concentrating on that area for a little while and then I will
begin working on my certification. Once again, thank you so much,
this has been an enjoyable experience for me. Take care and good
luck in all you do!

Event
Management is a multi-million dollar industry, growing rapidly, with
mega shows and events hosted regularly.
The demand of event
planners and managers is very high as various organizations host and
organize a number of events on several occasions. Event managers and
planners can plan and conduct small private parties to large
international events. An event, be it big or small needs to have
coordination in order to be successful. Event management has two
main elements which include financial resources and manpower. An
event manager needs to know the details of the brand, identify the
target audience, plan the event and logistics and handle the
technical aspects of the event.
Managing events may seem to be a
glamorous and exciting profession. However, like any other
profession, it too, requires patience and determination to succeed.
The ExpertRating Wow, What a Great Event Certification course will
provide wings to your creativity by providing you the tips, tools
and techniques of a conducting and managing a successful event.
No matter what
you need or hope to accomplish, you'll
inevitably need to plan it first. How many times
can you recall being in a quandary and needing
some direction? You'll get that direction after
you read this first lesson! This lesson will lay
out a step-by-step approach for event planning
that's simple, straightforward, and works every
time.
Friday - Lesson 02
You're surrounded
by themes in your daily life. If you're a
fashionista who follows all the latest fashion
trends, there's likely a theme to your seasonal
wardrobe. When you watch the home improvement
shows on cable television, you learn how to
create a theme that dominates your home decor.
If you garden, you know that the selection and
arrangement of your flowers, shrubs, statuary,
and outdoor furniture will result in a theme. In
this lesson, you'll learn when to use and when
to avoid a theme at your events. Then this
lesson will discuss how to bring your theme to
life using all of your senses. This lesson will
conclude by looking at two theme examples to
help spark your own creativity.
Week Two
Wednesday - Lesson 03
In this lesson,
you'll find out why there's a lot more to
selecting a site than booking your neighborhood
hotel or banquet hall. Location, location, and
location are the three key words everyone uses
when talking about any kind of real estate. An
event site is a unique type of real estate and
an important part of your event's success. This
lesson will categorize various types of event
sites and look at some criteria that will
ultimately help you make your site selection.
Friday - Lesson 04
Now that you know
which site you'll use for your event, it's time to
get out your pencil and paper and start planning how
you'll use the space. In this lesson, you'll learn
which site diagrams you'll need, how to develop a
room layout, and which sketches you'll want to
request or create yourself. This lesson will teach
you how to walk through your site and make
observations, noting everything that will be a
potential help or hindrance to you, your guests, and
your event.
Week Three
Wednesday - Lesson 05-
Have a snack and a
beverage at your side while you read this lesson! In
this lesson’s extensive discussion about the
selection and serving of food and beverages will
likely spur your appetite. It may also help you
recall memorable meals that you've enjoyed in the
past, or help you conjure up ideas about fancy foods
that you'll want to feature at your next party. If
that's not enough, links in this lesson's
supplementary material will really tempt you with
colorful pictures and extensive recipes of
delectable food and drink. You'll surely refer to
this lesson and its resources long after you've
finished the course!
Friday - Lesson 06
Entertainment is a
key component of most any event. There are many
potential resources to go to for entertainment, but
you have to know where to look. This lesson is
chock-full of valuable entertainment source
information for novice event planners and
experienced professionals alike. After you finish
reading the lesson, be sure to check out the
extensive list of links in the supplementary
material.
Week Four
Wednesday - Lesson 07
Developing a
decorating theme for your event can help you free
your inhibitions and let your creative juices flow.
If anything provides a limitation, it's usually the
budget. But even then, you can beg, borrow, or buy
at a discount to make your big ideas come to life!
This lesson will show you how. This lesson will also
pay special attention to color and special lighting
that will make your events eye-popping. This lesson
may end up being your favorite in the course because
it's just so much fun to decorate a space for a
party or an event.
Friday - Lesson 08
This lesson will
examine corporate sponsorships, which are
proliferating and are an important means of covering
the major costs of many events, maybe even some of
yours. If you're not a fundraising professional,
don't think that this lesson isn't for you. While
this lesson will discuss donations and grants, it
will also talk about a lot more.
Week Five
Wednesday - Lesson 09
Ever worry that
you'll go through all the trouble of throwing a
grand event but no one attends? If you follow the
advice you'll read in this lesson, you can almost
ensure that you'll avoid that problem. This lesson
will look at all the different modes of promoting
your event, including word-of-mouth, print,
electronic media, and media relations.
Friday - Lesson 10
Few people can handle
all the little details of their events completely
alone. You'll almost always need some help—sometimes
quite a lot of help. But, as you'll discover in this
lesson, you can hire anything from a small team to a
large committee to help you with your own event.
After this lesson talks about who these people are
and how they can assist you, you'll gain some
insight into how to get the most out of their help,
and you'll learn how to avoid the worst problems in
personnel matters.
Week Six
Wednesday - Lesson 11
Evaluating your
events soon after they're completed is a great
way to learn from your mistakes. How better to
visualize the best way to proceed with your
future events? In this lesson, you'll learn what
to look at and who to consult as you do your own
examination and evaluation. This lesson will
also discuss surveys and focus groups.
