The awarding body’s page Fees, dates and entry requirements are there, not here.

What it is

A certificate in producing, selling and marketing virtual and hybrid events: choosing a platform, designing the experience of remote attendees, revenue, sponsorship and exhibitor models, and measuring results. Streaming and remote attendance are now a fixed part of academic conferences, and this certificate covers what the in-person event credentials do not.

Who it suits

Conference and seminar organisers in universities and public bodies, and marketing and communications teams that run remote or hybrid events.

What it requires

No qualification or prior experience required.

How it is earned

A self-paced online course in short modules, each with a short quiz, followed by a final exam taken online. Its hours count towards continuing education for the CMP, which is already in this directory.
