    How to Get an Event Planning Job
    or Start an Event Planning Business 

Imagine having an exciting high-paying job that lets you use your creativity to organize fun and important events. Welcome to the world of event planning!

An event planner is, quite simply, someone who organizes events. When you think of an "event" you may think of something spectacular, such as the:

  • Academy Awards
  • Mardi Gras
  • Super Bowl
  • Presidential Inauguration
  • New Year's festivities in Times Square
  • Any other major events we hear about or see on television
Event planners are needed for all these events. Event planners also work on thousands of smaller events. Any time people gather together for a purpose, someone is needed to oversee all the details to ensure the event happens and that it is a success. That "someone" could be you! As an event planner, you might plan:
  • Award events
  • Charity fundraisers
  • Conferences
  • Exhibitions
  • Fashion shows
  • Fairs and festivals
  • Grand openings
  • Holiday events
  • Meetings
  • New product launches
  • Political events
  • Seminars
  • Social events
  • Sporting events
  • Trade shows
  • Or many other types of events
