We are all working through challenges presented by COVID-19 at many different levels – occupational and personal, community and home. While the struggles can be difficult and, often, almost overwhelming, it’s comforting to know that we are part of a supportive global community. This industry has taught me so much over the years. One pillar of that learning is how we care – for our families, our work, our customers, our friends, our communities. Knowing that so many are facing job changes, job losses and other life stressors, I want to offer our support by keeping you connected to the CMP community. The Events Industry Council is offering COVID-19 relief in a few ways. This includes a freeze on the recertification fee at $225 USD through 30 September 2020 as well as providing these on-demand webinars, free of charge. You can earn 1 CE by viewing each on-demand webinar and completing the quiz via the link provided. EIC will continue to add webinars to our live webinar schedule and has expanded the capacity to host up to 3,000 attendees. Be sure to take advantage of this free education. Now is an opportunity for all of us to look at our skills, identify gaps, and sharpen our knowledge. It’s also a great time for anyone interested in pursuing their CMP to get started. If you know of anyone who is considering pursuing their CMP, please share your experience and encourage them to reach out if they have any questions. For new candidates, EIC is providing COVID-19 relief in the amount of $50 USD for the initial application. Additionally, the certification examination fee is reduced $50 USD for those who have been affected by COVID-19 and are furloughed, had their position eliminated or are experiencing a salary reduction. Impacted candidates can receive discount codes by emailing certification@eventscouncil.org. I am proud of and encouraged by many stories of industry peers offering support through volunteerism, converting venues to makeshift hospitals, donating food and supplies, and offering support in other meaningful ways. I'd like to hear your story, which you can upload here. Tell us how this time has affected you and how you/your family/your team has given back to our industry. Our industry is resilient – and our CMPs will help lead the way. Thank you for all you do.

After a few months of working from home, many of us are looking for new things to do. Why not take this time to work on professional development and earn CEs? The Events Industry Council Knowledge Hub is the Netflix of events education! Choose from CMP Conclave recordings, webinars and CE quizzes (more than 100 options) instead of binge watching that next TV show. The Knowledge Hub is connected to your EIC website login and can be accessed on any device with an internet connection.
