During the two-day seminar/workshop professionals from around the globe will acquire a broad comprehension of the incentive travel industry.

Tuesday, June 10: 8:00AM – 12:00PM – Certified Incentive Specialist Program 9:00AM – 10:00AM – To Certify or Not to Certify Is this the next ‘meaning of life’ question for the meetings and events industry? As an industry that generates substantial revenue that supports the GDP, meeting and event professionals do not receive the recognition for the work that they do from government entities and the industry itself, largely because there is a lack of formal structure for continuing education. While there are many event management programs throughout the US and Europe, what happens after the program is completed? Is there a place for certification that requires continuing education and demonstration of knowledge over time? These questions and more will be addressed in an audience-interactive format led by Cedric Calhoun, Founder and CEO of RecertTrack.

10:30AM – 11:30AM – What Your Event Planner CV Needs in 2014 Being an event planner has always been a challenging occupation, and it is not going to get easier anytime soon. Events are changing through technology, social media, businesses going global and users wanting to receive content through different mediums, and planners need to gain new skills to keep up with this evolution. To some planners, this may be seen as a challenge, but ultimately it creates new opportunities. From marketing automation to social media strategy and attendees UI/UX, event planners need to gain the skills and knowledge to take their events to new heights.
