It\u2019s not a small job. Event coordinators usually handle corporate events and focus on professional meetings suitable for businesses. Coordinators handle vendors, negotiations, scheduling, the guest list as well as materializing your vision.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, event coordinators hold a management role. They oversee events, meetings, and conferences. They\u2019re responsible for hiring all staff necessary to host an event, working within a budget and ensuring a seamless execution.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ecconf.jpg\" alt=\"business conference event\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ecconf.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ecconf-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_host_events\"><\/span>Why host events?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Customer and client engagement are important for any business. They encourage healthy relationships and help companies stay current. <\/p>\n<p>You may not realize it, but your business is already hosting events. Every time you have a meeting, you have planned at least some elements of an event. Have you ever visited an office for a meeting and left impressed? Chances are, you enjoyed yourself &#8211; the space was likely organized for the meeting, personnel were friendly, and refreshments were inviting.<\/p>\n<p>Does your business host this caliber of meetings? If not, now is the time to start investing in event coordinator training or looking for an in-house planner!<\/p>\n<p>Hosting events is about more than just making a good impression when you meet with clients. Events present an opportunity for like-minded individuals and businesses to gather, discuss, and learn from one another. These events allow your employees to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/09\/4-best-networking-tips-planners\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">engage with other professionals<\/a> and encourage collaboration in your industry.<\/p>\n<p>Your business will gain exposure and enhance its reputation.

The advantage of training a current employee is that they already have company knowledge! Your current employees know your mission statement, the company\u2019s direction as well as its culture and style.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a simple meeting or an upscale event, the host\u2019s personality should shine through. At corporate events, this is especially important. You want clients and partners to know who you are as a company. It speaks to your brand\u2019s integrity. If you are a reserved, professional company but your meeting has been set up with sushi and glamorous floral arrangements, your guests may be confused.<\/p>\n<p>Current employees already know the expectations. You won\u2019t have to waste time communicating them or your concerns to an outside event coordinator. No one knows your company better than those who are a part of it!<\/p>\n<p>There are added bonuses of training your employees in event coordination &#8211; one of the most important is the transferable skills they\u2019ll learn! Since event coordinating requires organization, scheduling, negotiating and management, your employees will develop these skills. This goes beyond their ability to plan events; these skills will also help them in their daily tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Professional development is never a loss!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ectrain.jpg\" alt=\"women learning on laptop\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ectrain.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ectrain-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_payoff\"><\/span>The payoff<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Typically, event coordinators and planners have fees based on the total cost of the event. For example, if you host a $15,000 event and your hire a coordinator at 20% fee (industry standard) you\u2019ll pay the coordinator $3000. If you\u2019re on a tight budget, this may not be appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Train your employees in event coordinating to save on fees. There will be an initial training cost, but with all the meetings, conferences and events your business holds, it will pay off shortly. Regardless of how many events your business will be hosting, a certified event planning course is a great investment.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the fiscal benefits, your business image and reputation will grow \u2013 and fast. When you host events and meetings in sync with your company, it doesn\u2019t go unnoticed. Clients appreciate the thought and effort put into every meeting. That\u2019s never a bad thing!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ecshake.jpg\" alt=\"business persons shaking hands\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ecshake.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ecshake-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_next\"><\/span>What next?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, you understand how training employees in event coordinating can benefit your business. But, where can you start?<\/p>\n<p>Event coordinating isn\u2019t a typical skill.
