This course has been very helpful for me to learn many aspects of event planning process. The top three learnings for me are risk management, importance of technology, and learnings from all of the panel sessions.
Risk management: I learned that risk management plays important role in planning events. Having a successful risk management will create successful events. Keeping in mind that every event has potential risks help you pay more attention to the risk factors and put more effort to avoid the risks. This management skill does not only apply to event planning, I think in many aspects of business world, it is a very helpful and important skill that you can apply for making successful events or deals for bigger profit.
Use of technology in event industry: After raking this class, I have realized that the importance of technology in the event industry nowadays. Technology has improved the overall quality of events. It provides convenience, and will help collect more accurate information. Knowing about tools such like Social table and Cvent is very helpful for me to utilize these tools in the future when I start planning my own events.
Last takeaway is the experiences of going on field trips to Socialtable, the churchill hotel, and also the panel discussions. Having experts from all aspects of the event industry has helped me broaden my eyes to know a lot more about the industry. I have just joined the Meeting Professionals International, I look forward getting many experiences and building some network within the association.
Overall, I really liked how the class is structured creatively with field trips and panel discussions. The cases have been very helpful to know about the event industry as well.
