Farewell

This semester in HOSP 170: Event Sponsorship & Promotion has taught me more than I signed up for. I really feel like it prepared me for my future career. I don't know what I expected to learn in an event marketing class but I guess I thought it would be a bit more dry.

I learned much more than just how to plan and promote and event. I learned more than how event sponsorship worked. I learned more than event marketing jargon.

I experienced a big charity event and learned about their sponsorship. I learned about the event planning business. I put marketing into my own words on my blog. 

Biggest takeaway: creating a brand for myself and my business and not selling myself short. Such an important lesson to learn; I'm glad I got the chance to be in this class and listen to the wisdom of my professor, Nicole Matthews, owner of The Henley Company.

Big ideas for my future in events!
