PARTY EXPERTS PRESENT “GETTING STARTED IN PARTY/EVENT PLANNING” TELESEMINARS

Fort Lauderdale, FL: Some people are the life of the party. Some live to party. Others party for a living. That's right. There are people who are paid to party.

The field of special event and party planning has grown in recent years as more companies are using events as a marketing tool, and a great percentage of the general public seems to believe that planning social celebrations is just another chore they would rather hire someone else to handle.

Phyllis Cambria and Patty Sachs, professional event, wedding and party planners, owners of PartyPlansPlus.com, and authors of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Throwing a Great Party (Alpha Books/Macmillan $16.95) want to help others join their profession. They have put together a 16-part teleseminar program called "Getting Started in Event/Party Planning" to help potential planners enter the event and party planning industry with a solid beginning education.

"There are so many people who want to get into this fast-growing field,” said Cambria, "but lack the skills and knowledge they need to take them from planning parties for their friends and family to doing it professionally. Patty and I wanted to give them the help they need to get their career off on the right track. The kind of help that wasn't available to us when we got started."

"While there are a number of extensive and expensive training programs available, we wanted to give these folks a course that was convenient, affordable and personal," added Sachs. She continued, "Plus so many people have unrealistic ideas about our business. It's not all fun and games and it's not something at which you can succeed without proper preparation.”

Participants will be able to dial into the scheduled lecture and Q&A session with Cambria and Sachs, which start on June 26, from anywhere. In addition to the sessions, attendees will receive e-mailed documents including forms, event plans and insider information created by the presenters.

Since the program will begin again at the end of the four-month cycle, students can join the series at any point and make up any sessions they missed. "Most of the hour-long sessions are completely self-contained so people who want to take only one or two parts of the course will be able to do that as well," said Cambria.

Presenting seminars is a specialty of the party planning partners, and from July 11-14, at TransWorld’s Summer Merchandise and Gift Show, in Rosemont, IL, they will introduce their innovation, Coffee Cup Classes to the buyers. Informal round table seating, semi-private consultations and complimentary coffee will add convenience and appeal to the three days of business building seminars.
