How it works for event planners

Licenses

Common here: Certified Meeting Professional (CMP). A license with its number counts for matching; verification is optional.

Trade partners you might meet

Caterers, photographers, venue sales teams and marketing managers.

Where you'd meet

Before service at the restaurant, in the hotel lobby or over a coffee.

Project work

Events with a contract value of $2,500 and up can run as project work, with a flat fee on award.

Questions

Do event planners need a résumé?

No. You answer a tap-only questionnaire, check your skills and how deep each one goes, play a few short work stories, and invite people to vouch for you.

How is my license shown?

Entered with its number and state, it counts for matching right away and shows as "Self-reported". Verification ($29.99) adds a "Verified" badge. The number is never shown.

Can I meet over video?

No. This work always meets in person: before service at the restaurant, in the hotel lobby or over a coffee.
