Work from Home Planning Seminars, Conferences & Workshops

You Love Organizing Educational Programs

I can't even begin to tell you how enjoyable it is to coordinate workshops and seminars! You can have a lot of fun organizing community educational programs and meeting lots of people to promote your training company!

You plan the topic, market the segment most suited, plan for refreshments, door prizes if you choose and gather the materials------a form of event planning targeted toward training facilitations. And, if you have the skills, make the presentation yourself! You might also weave n meeting planning, retreats, and large conferences.

About This Industry...

For you---consider planning educational seminars & workshops for professionals and para-professionals needing CEU (continued education units) credits and classroom hours. This can be a huge demand in your community. Charge anywhere from $20 - $85 per person depending on the type of program you are offering. Topics can range anywhere from 'how to plan a wedding' to 'children with disabilities.' Also, companies are mandated by Federal Law to train their employees on sexual harassment issues---there's a great market for this workshop title and others! Topics can deal with serious issues i.e. child abuse to informative topic areas for family and company staff.

Your Lifestyle

This is truly a wonderful experience, filled with opportunities to meet a lot of different people in many fields of study. It is the best way to build your contacts, explore outside interests and garner potential clients for the future. Most of the work is conducted at home, on the phone and by correspondence. Once the day of the workshop arrives, you're in the public view. This field allows you a lot of freedom to set your own schedule. Once you have established your planning contacts and set up future workshops for the calendar, you have a lot of time to spend doing the things you love. Working around this, you set yourself in gear building contacts. These contacts can be very useful if you are also planning social events in addition to organizing workshops and educational seminars.

Your Background

You may have an area of expertise or special knowledge, yet this is also an opportunity to expand on topic areas. Bring in the experts! You don't have the be the expert on all subjects. Pay them a small fee to promote their own knowledge, skill, service or business. Some will conduct the presentation at no charge as an act of advertising. The more technical and complicated topics may require those already set up to conduct presentations. This will give you doors to opportunity for other business and contacts for the future.
