Become a Certified Corporate Event Planner and Start On Your Lucrative Career
When The Event U founder, Darren W. Johnson, launched his career in event planning back in the eighties, corporate events weren’t the well-oiled performing machines that they are today and there was no event planning certification to support the industry.
Since then, corporate event production has grown exponentially and become very lucrative for event planners, generating billions of dollars annually. Various schools have developed programs, contributing to making the profession more credible.
Surprisingly though, to this day, aspiring corporate event planners are not required to obtain an event planning degree to join the industry.
