Most corporate event planning courses require the completion of assignments to improve your verbal and written communication. For example, a course assignment may ask you to suggest two possible event venues for an upcoming conference based on your client\u2019s needs. However, your client has a list of requirements including on-site catering, making it challenging to find the right fit for them. You\u2019ll need to communicate effectively with both your client and the vendor, to make both parties happy\u2014or at least satisfied.
