WordPress Event Ticketing

How much time annually do you spend on professional development, following the trends, making contacts, maintaining established relationships and promoting your brand in event management circles? The busy schedule of event managers does not leave much time for roaming around conferences, chasing for the early bird registrations and logging on webinars.  

Nevertheless, expertise calls for continuous learning and keeping up with novelties. In addition to reading popular publications, you should make it a habit of visiting meet-ups, conferences and seminars every once in a while.  

To make the quest for quality professional development events easier, we have made a list of six upcoming events which should be on your schedule.
