Los
Angeles, CA – December 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / The International Association
of Exhibitions and Events has partnered with the Meetings
Quest trade show, which will be held April 21–22 at the Rhode Island
Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island, to provide its professional
certification training. Presented by Association News magazine and
hosted by the Providence Warwick
Convention & Visitors Bureau, Meetings Quest is America’s longest-running
series of educational and networking events for association, corporate,
government and religious meeting planners.
“We
are thrilled to be partnering with IAEE, a trusted and valuable resource
in the exhibitions and events industry,” said Timothy Schneider, president
and CEO of Schneider Publishing, which publishes Association News
and organizes Meetings Quest. “We will be offering exclusive educational
programming in Providence, and we invite both current and prospective members
of IAEE to take advantage of this great opportunity.”
On
April 21, Meetings Quest attendees will be able to earn credits toward
IAEE’s professional certification program, which leads to the Certified
in Exhibition Management (CEM) designation. The day-long program will be
administered by IAEE and taught by CEM commission–approved faculty. The
CEM designation was created in 1975 to raise professional standards in
the exhibition industry and is recognized as the premier mark of professional
achievement for those who manage and host trade shows.
