READ WHAT RECENT CFEE GRADUATES HAVE TO SAY:
As an academic teaching Event Management in Higher Education, earning my CFEE provided me access to relevant and timely industry information that is vital to ensuring I am preparing the event industry with the best future industry professionals possible. I also used the program as an opportunity to network and build lasting relationships with industry professionals who can inform my teaching and mentor my students throughout the year. I find the CFEE to be a valuable asset to anyone looking to advance their knowledge and skill sets to ensure the Event Industry is producing well-informed and prepared industry leaders.

I am so excited to become part of the CFEE family after 13 years working at ArtsQuest and nearly 20 years in the festivals and events space.
We learned so much from the instructors about planning the best practices, and it was great to connect with our peers, especially during these incredibly challenging past couple of years where programming was so limited. I look forward to applying what I've learned and being able to connect with my fellow CFEE's with challenging questions or new event ideas for their perspectives.
