“It's just a two hour dinner, how hard it can be?” Many people still think that planning an event is easy. Well, yes everyone can do this, but if you want an event that achieves your objectives and doesn’t waste money, then you should consider an accredited event planner.
Here are three reasons why education and accreditation are important when hiring an event planner these days:
- They have credibility. A planner with CSEP (Certificated Special Event professional) or EVC (Certificated Event Coordinator) destination means they have been recognized as trained professionals who are skillful and knowledgeable in their field.
- They are more resourceful. Planning an event is not just about put things together; it’s about find the right fit. Educated planners know essential concepts for organizing an event, and more importantly, they know who can do it and where to find them.
- They have passion. You wouldn’t spend money and time on a topic that you dislike. A good event planner should always be excited to learn about new trends and continue to build his/her skills and knowledge.
In this industry, experience is still the most importance thing when hiring a planner. However, as the industry grows and higher standard are set, education and accreditation are a “must-have”.
