If you\u2019ve read a few of the blogs here then there\u2019s one thing that I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen often and that is that a corporate meeting planner wears many different hats. A lot of people have asked me over the years what characteristics are important for a corporate meeting planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Corporate_Meeting_Planner_Needs_to_Be_Extremely_Organized\"><\/span>A Corporate Meeting Planner Needs to Be Extremely Organized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to successfully execute a meeting, a corporate meeting planner needs to be a very organized person. But in answer to the question that I\u2019ve been asked many times in the past regarding what characteristics stand out, what I usually tell people is that a corporate meeting planner has to be good at logistics. After all, most corporate meetings involve a whole slew of activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_of_the_logistics_that_are_involved_with_executing_a_corporate_meeting_are\"><\/span>Some of the logistics that are involved with executing a corporate meeting are:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transportation<\/strong>\u2013 quite often, and especially with corporate meetings, the corporate meeting planner is required to arrange transportation for the delegates at the airport (and sometimes from their starting cities as well) and transfer them to the hotel where the meeting will be taking place. Many times they are also charged with having to make airline reservations for the delegates as well. If a corporate meeting planner\u2019s lucky enough the transportation logistics will revolve around one or two days before the meeting and one or two days after the meeting. But many times their department is handling individual flight request as well as individual ground transportation. From here they will develop a travel manifest. But ask any seasoned corporate meeting planner if that\u2019s the end of it and you\u2019re likely to get a loud chuckle from the planner. Because there are often many changes to flights (and hence ground transportation as well) due to last-minute changes, weather etc. I\u2019ve worked with transportation manifests where you could barely read because of all the writing (changes) by the time the meeting was finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hotel and Meeting Logistics<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 on top of getting all of the delegates to the meeting\u2019s location, the corporate meeting planner also has to make sure that the hotel is booked, meeting rooms are blocked, food and beverage arrangements have been made and all of the appropriate speakers and\/or presenters have been booked. You\u2019re starting to get the idea why meeting planner checklist are so important to their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_you_think_a_corporate_meeting_planner_has_a_tough_job_then_you_are_correct_But_if_you_ask_a_corporate_meeting_planner_if_they_like_their_job_all_lot_will_tell_you_that_they_love_the_fact_that_they_have_so_many_components_that_are_so_different_when_organizing_a_meeting_A_corporate_meeting_planner_needs_to_be_good_at_logistics_As_a_matter_of_fact_organizational_skills_are_probably_at_the_top_of_the_list_of_characteristics_required_for_corporate_meeting_planner\"><\/span>If you think a corporate meeting planner has a tough job then you are correct.
