HM370 University of Phoenix Planning and Management Presentation

As a professional meeting planner, you have been asked to speak with students in the hospitality management program and provide insights on both your work and opportunities that are available in the field.

Conduct research using your textbook, the University Library, or other sources about professional meeting planners and the types of meetings and venues that they manage.

Prepare a 15- to 20-slide presentation with speaker notes where you discuss the following:

• The role of a professional meeting planner and the benefits of the Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation.
• The various management functions and facets of meeting planning, including where meeting planners might work (i.e. types of employers).
• The different types of meetings, conventions, expositions, and events that a meeting planner might manage, including differences between venues.

Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
