As a Meeting Professional we perform and manage every and any task associated with planning a meeting. The meetings, events, conferences, seminars, symposia, and other gatherings that they plan range from simple and small to large and complex. Successfully hiring a professional meeting planner, whether on a temporary basis, project basis, or as a permanent staff member, depends on matching the person with the right skill set, attitude, and personality to the meeting or meetings that need to be planned and the tasks that need to be performed.
