Become a Certified Corporate Event Planner and Start On Your Lucrative Career<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

When <\/span>The Event U founder<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>Darren W. Johnson<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>launched his career in<\/span> <\/span>event planning back in the eighties<\/span>, <\/span>corporate events weren\u2019t the well-oiled performing machines that they are today<\/span> and there was no event planning certification to support the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>corporate event production<\/span> has<\/span> <\/span>grown exponentially and<\/span> <\/span>become<\/span> <\/span>very lucrative<\/span> for event planners<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>generat<\/span>ing<\/span> <\/span>billions of dollars annuall<\/span>y<\/span>. <\/span>Various<\/span> schools have <\/span>developed<\/span> programs<\/span>, contributing to making <\/span>the profession more credible.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Surprisingly though<\/span>,<\/span> to this day,<\/span> <\/span>aspiring corporate event planners are not required to <\/span>obtain<\/span> a<\/span>n<\/span> event planning <\/span>degree to join the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whi<\/span>le this may sound like good news to some wanting to launch their career as <\/span>quickly<\/span> as possible, an event planning degree allows professionals to gain valuable insight that will prevent them from making costly mistakes and to be perceived as competent by future employers and clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

An <\/span>Event Planning Certification <\/span>At<\/span> Your Fingertips<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

As a veteran corporate event planner who has been hired by companies such as Disney, Coca Cola and Cadillac, Darren already had experience designing an academic curriculum<\/span> in the form of <\/span>the highly successful in-<\/span>classroom <\/span>Going Live!<\/span><\/a> university program.<\/span><\/p>\n

He quickly realized he needed to offer another, more flexible and practical event planning certification for busy individuals, those who could not commit to a classroom education, such as hospitality professionals, social event planners, corporate professionals with event planning duties<\/span>,<\/span> and anyone wanting to launch their career in event planning, including students.<\/span><\/p>\n
