Why Continuing Education for Event Professionals Is Important
Continuing education is required for workers to stay current with the latest developments, skills, and new technologies required for their fields. Certain professions also require continuing education to comply with laws, remain licensed or certified, or maintain membership in an association or licensing body.
Event Professionals and Continuing Education
In the ever-changing world of events, continuing to learn and fine-tune your craft through education is crucial. Client needs and expectations will continue to change and evolve and you’ll want to make sure you are on top of what’s current to stay ahead of the game.
Mountain Event Services and Continuing Education
Our team invests in themselves every year. In addition to the traditional education we all received when young, we attended professional workshops and seminars regularly. We also use online webinars and videos to get professional development and stay on top of the latest trends in events.
Our talented wedding photographers received their education at The Art Institute of Colorado. Our Fort Collins wedding videographers and editors study Digital Media and Journalism at Colorado State University.
In addition to learning, we also teach! Some of our wedding DJs have been instructors at Denver’s prestigious Global DJ Academy.
What’s the point of this post, Matt?
This week, we’re attending the Wedding MBA, Wedding Pro Convention. The Business Side of the Wedding Business. Wedding Tech. Wedding Style. Wedding Marketing. We will be learning new trends in the event industry, and attending specialty-specific classes on creating awesome experiences while we DJ, Photograph, Video, and provide photo booth services at weddings. Wedding decor and lighting trends, and how to connect with modern event planners and couples. The knowledge transfer is mind-numbing. It’s as close to a national wedding-centric convention as you’re going to get.
Who among event professionals is not doing this “continuing education” stuff?
The cheap ones. The ones making “too good to be true” offers. But, hey – everyone’s gotta start somewhere.
