Meeting Planner Resume
Meeting planners work with corporate companies and are responsible for arranging meetings, seminars, and presentations. These events may take place in the company premises or at some locations convenient for both the party. Since events are conducted with the help of certain materials such as audio and visual equipment, these meeting planners or corporate event organizers are responsible for collecting and installing them at the venues. They also have to ensure movement of materials from the source to the destination and vice versa. As events doesn't take place very often, companies don't buy materials needed and rely on vendors. The meeting planners have to coordinate with vendors and get the required materials at best price.
These corporate event organizers have to be good in written and verbal communication. They must also hold good coordination, time management, and event management skills.
