Overview

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of meeting, convention, and event planners is projected to grow 18% by 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations (5%). This growth is attributed to increased demand for events, including weddings, conferences, and other gatherings, as well as the need for organizations to comply with regulations and insurance requirements.

The Event Law course is a legal guide for wedding and event professionals with everything you need to know to maintain your career and business, including licensing, trademarks, contract negotiations, and more.

This Event Law course is ideal for individuals who want to learn about the legal requirements and obligations of planning and executing events. The course covers essential legal concepts such as contracts (how to draft and negotiate with vendors and clients) and insurance (policies and liability issues). It also provides practical guidance on navigating these issues, including laws and regulations that govern events, such as health and safety regulations, and how to ensure compliance with these requirements.
