  • Section 2 provides a generalized overview on what provisions should be negotiated, or at the very least carefully reviewed prior to signing any center contract.
  • Sections 3 and 4 present all of this material in outline format. They are designed to provide a detailed checklist to use as a guide, both prior to and during actual negotiations.

IAEE began working with U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in 2014 to update the core competencies model for the events industry.

This publication includes a compilation of all job competencies, skills, knowledge and abilities needed for various job levels along with corresponding job description templates organized in the job function areas of Operations, Sales/Business Development, Marketing, Meeting and Event Operations and Strategic Management.
