As a conference planner, your job duties include hiring and training event coordinators, securing a keynote speaker for the event, dealing with vendors and other support staff, scheduling all programs, overseeing room assignments for each session, and managing attendance documents. Qualifications for this career include several years of experience working in events or conference coordination or party-planning as well as exceptional communication, multitasking, and organizational skills.
