You get to meet tons of new people, coordinate the most important days, and build a sparkling reputation for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>But not all event planners are cut out to plan weddings. And that\u2019s fine! In fact, it\u2019s excellent. If you prefer to organize and manage events such as conferences, seminars, and award ceremonies, you\u2019re in luck! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/online-event-courses\/corporate-event-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corporate planning<\/a> is one of the most lucrative areas of event planning you can get into.

A career in corporate event planning can be very rewarding but it isn&#8217;t for everyone. After earning your event planning certificate, research your career outlook. Where do you want to be in five years? Is earning a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/event-planners-salary-much-making\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">high event planner salary<\/a> important to you? What kinds of events do you most enjoy planning? You won\u2019t be planning big weddings or birthday parties. So if you have your heart set on destination wedding planning or DIY projects, you will be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>While working on corporate events, you&#8217;ll focus on details such as logistics, catering, and presentation. Having a strong marketing background is a serious asset. Some event planners love the marketing and business side of planning. If this sounds like you, an event planning career in the corporate world is a great choice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Show_your_corporate_event_planner_certification\"><\/span>Show your corporate event planner certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-10-11T121539.645.jpg\" alt=\"corporate event planning course certificate\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-10-11T121539.645.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-10-11T121539.645-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve decided that becoming a corporate event planner is right for you, you\u2019ll need to figure out how to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>In general, event planning is an unregulated industry, which means that you don\u2019t need a formal license to work in the field. That being said, it\u2019s in your best interest (and your clients\u2019) to get an event planning certificate. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2015\/12\/what-businesses-look-for-in-a-corporate-event-planner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employers will appreciate<\/a> that you\u2019re professionally trained and they\u2019ll have a great deal of confidence in your ability to plan successful events.

You won&#8217;t need to sacrifice your full-time job or drop your other priorities.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of event planning schools will offer wedding planning, event decor, and other specialized courses. In these courses, you may encounter units that discuss internal and external corporate events such as product launches, client appreciation parties, and meetings. But they will only scratch the surface. After all, their primary goal is to teach you those specific sects of event planning. To get the most well-rounded education, choose an event planning certification course that focuses strongly on corporate event planning and event management.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-10-11T113818.632.jpg\" alt=\"professional interview going well\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-10-11T113818.632.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-10-11T113818.632-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hard skills will land you the interview, but you need strong soft skills to land that event planner job.

Planners who work in your local industry are especially valuable contacts. Sure, some of them are your direct competitors. But nurturing good relationships with other planners could increase your opportunities. They could throw your name into the ring if they spot any open planning positions in their company. Or recommend you if they catch wind of any freelance event planning jobs.<\/p>\n<p>When just starting out, you could make a list of all the companies you want to work for. You can then &#8220;cold call&#8221; them to see if they\u2019re looking to hire a corporate event planner. This can be intimidating, but you could hit the jackpot and land your dream job. After all, it pays to take initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Your long-term success as a corporate event planner will depend on the experience and service you provide to your clients.

In addition to having these items, businesses will want to hire planners that project the right image for their own brand. Be as professional and polished as you can. Put together an organized and appealing professional portfolio to demonstrate your skills and experience.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, when searching for a corporate event planning job, it\u2019s important to be both patient and assertive.
