What is the Meeting and Event Planning for Administrative Assistants course?
Meeting and Event Planning for Administrative Assistants connects customer needs, communication, service expectations and ongoing engagement. Professionals need practical systems for understanding customers, managing interactions and building lasting business relationships.
This course develops practical approaches for planning meetings and events, coordinating venues and resources, preparing agendas and materials, managing invitations and schedules, supporting participants and completing effective post-event follow-up.
Participants practise planning checklists, agenda preparation, scheduling, venue coordination, invitations, participant communication, meeting support, event logistics and post-event documentation.
The emphasis is on practical administrative skills that help professionals keep meetings and events organised, minimise last-minute issues, communicate clearly and support productive outcomes.
