In June, fourteen event managers from across the country met for three days to validate the Event Manager Certification Exam. These professionals generously shared their time and expertise, working hard to update the exam blueprint, review and approve the exam questions, establish the required passmark, and validate the performance evaluation tool.

The validation meeting was a great opportunity to share stories on different types of events they managed, to exchange on best practices, and to network with like-minded professional event managers.
