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. \nFee: $299 for members; $440 for non-members

SUMMARY:Housing and Registration Management - Virtual
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\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. \nFee: $299 for members; $440 for non-members
