SUMMARY:Housing and Registration Management
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\nTime: 8:30am – 4:30pm Pacific Time \nThis course is hosted by Las Vegas Expo (LVE) and will take place at the LVE office at 6225 Annie Oakley Drive\, Las Vegas\, NV 89120. It will be held from 8:30am – 3:00pm. 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: Melanie Mathis\, CEM \nLocation: LVE office\, 6225 Annie Oakley Drive\, Las Vegas\, NV 8912 \nFee: $329 for members and non-members \nIf you are a CEM recertifying\, use the following link to register.

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 creation of a marketing plan that includes core practices as well as new ideas\, innovations and unique points of view allows for the creation of an exhibition that may have begun as just a concept. 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. 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. \nInstructor: TBD \nLocation: Virtual \nFee: $349 members/$490 non-members

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
