The Event Law course covers the legal aspects of planning and executing events. The curriculum is designed to educate you on key legal concepts, such as contracts, insurance, and liability, to ensure compliance and protect both the event planner and the client.
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.
