In order to progress your career and ensure that you continue to be a valued member within your organization -- especially if there is a structured meeting management program in place -- you need to do more than successfully manage a meetings department.

Learn how to develop a road map to purposefully achieving the next level in your career path. Through individual and group exercises, examine core competencies required to demonstrate that you are qualified to move up to the role of meeting director.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand SMM as a framework, including the benefits, drivers and initiatives
  • Compare these to your current skill set and pinpoint gaps and areas of development for yourself
  • Create and execuite a plan to upgrade your capabilities and advance your career
