SUMMARY:Event Operations - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Producing successful exhibitions often hinges upon the proper management of logistics. Every event contains thousands of details that must be processed logically\, sequentially and precisely. While managing logistics well is essential\, exhibitions are intended primarily to bring buyers and sellers together in an environment that is conducive to their respective objectives. All of the stakeholders of an exhibition must communicate effectively before\, during and after the event to ensure its success. Event operations focuses on the unique role of the exhibition organizer and his/her team in orchestrating all of the elements. \nAfter completing this course\, the participant should be able to: \n\nIdentify teams for event and project timelines for key stakeholders\nEstablish show rules and regulations and their enforcement on-site\nDevelop a plan to manage the on-site exhibition operations\nExplain the components of on-site communications\nIdentify the exhibition cycle phases\nReview the roles of the on-site exhibition team\, including staff and vendors\nEvaluate the overall on-site operations\nConduct a post-event analysis\n\nThere will be an optional 30-minute study period followed by an hour for the exam. Those that are recertifying\, not taking the exam\, or taking the course as not part of the CEM program will end their day at 2:30pm Central Time. \nLocation: Virtual \nFee: $349 members/$490 non-members

SUMMARY:Event Marketing - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Marketing is not an exact science. It includes a number of strategies and tactics that are constantly evolving so they can address changing social\, cultural and economic circumstances effectively.

The goal of an exhibition is to provide an appropriate environment in which buyers and sellers can come together face to face. Today’s technology increasingly permits the show organizer to extend the useful life of an exhibition by employing digital tools\, thus further enriching the show experience. \nAfter completing this course\, the participant should be able to: \n\nDefine marketing\, explain the difference between the marketing and sales functions\nIdentify the elements of a marketing plan\nDescribe market segmentation\, define target markets and explain how to reach global audiences\nReview event evaluation processes and discuss the importance of establishing benchmarks to measure goal attainment\nExplain the benefits of developing omni channel marketing and content management strategies\nDiscuss the forms of sponsorship and promotional opportunities associated with exhibitions and events\nUse data analytics to determine Return on Investment (ROI) of partnerships\, sponsorships and marketing campaigns\n\nThere will be an optional 30-minute study period followed by an hour for the exam.

SUMMARY:Housing and Registration Management - CEM Week
DESCRIPTION:Today’s exhibition professional has more to do than simply manage an exhibition. In reality\, an exhibition professional is responsible for several crucial service-related elements. Two of the service fundamentals inherent in most events are arranging for accommodations for guests (“housing”) and identifying which guests will be allowed access to which portion of an event (“registration”). Planning must begin early to ensure housing and registration are easily assessed and do not become a hindrance to attending the event. When managed well\, housing and registration can enhance an event and create an incentive for future attendance. \nAfter completing this course\, the participant should be able to: \n\nIdentify key elements of planning and managing registration and housing\nDescribe differences between exhibitors and attendees in housing needs and booking habits\nDescribe differences in registration policies and processes for exhibitors and attendees\nEvaluate housing and registration event management options\nDevelop basic housing and registration planning timelines\nDemonstrate knowledge of financial and contractual commitments\nUnderstand how to manage housing and registration data (e.g.\, GDPR\, data privacy\, data protection\, data security).\n\nThis course is part of CEM Week at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland\, OH and will be held from 8:30am – 3:00pm Eastern Time. Those staying to take the exam will have an optional 30-minute study period followed by an hour for the exam. You must read the workbook ahead of class. \nInstructor: TBD \nLocation: CEM Week\, Huntington Convention Center\, Cleveland\, OH \nFee: $329 for members; $470 for non-members

SUMMARY:Exhibition and Event Sales - CEM Week
DESCRIPTION:In order to ensure the success of an event or exhibition\, there are vital elements involved in the planning process that should be conducted from the ground up. No matter how successful or well respected an exhibition may be\, it should be presented as if it were a first-time event – it is the marketing and selling equivalent of zero-based budgeting. This involves highlighting an event’s features and benefits\, understanding the phases of the sales cycle and the need to support sales efforts with the appropriate tools and resources\, and preparing the exhibition prospectus in a comprehensive and engaging way. \nAfter completing this course\, the participant should be able to: \n\nIdentify and describe the key steps in the sales cycle\nDescribe the exhibition sales process\nUnderstand partnership and sponsorship sale process\nExplain the importance of relationship selling in the sales process\nIdentify different pricing strategies\nDevelop an international sales strategy\nExplain the importance of providing exhibitors\, partners\, and sponsors with measurable ROI\n\nTime: 8:30am – 3:00pm Eastern Time \nThis course is part of CEM Week at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland\, OH and will be held from 8:30am – 3:00pm Eastern Time. Those staying to take the exam will have an optional 30-minute study period followed by an hour for the exam. You must read the workbook ahead of class. \nInstructor: TBD \nLocation: CEM Week\, Huntington Convention Center\, Cleveland\, OH \nFee: $329 for members; $470 for non-members
