Meeting and Event Management

Employment of meeting, convention, and event planners is projected to grow 8 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. Job opportunities should be best for candidates with a bachelor's degree in meeting and event management, hospitality, or tourism management.
