Additional Education???

It's obvious that one should have a knowledge of events prior to the planning, organizing and implementing of one, however, there are so many other fields that could and will benefit the events industry. I myself have engaged in education that is closely related to events but also gives me an opportunity to grow in other fields. Over the past four months I have had the opportunity to engage in the Public Relations industry through Mohawk College's full time one year program. Through my studies I have been involved in writing media releases, product launches, events, media relations and corporate communications. Although I haven't been active in events since school started I can see how Public Relations will greatly influence my event coordinating in the future. I'd like to continue my "event related" education through other various programs. I'd like to partake in cooking courses, baking courses, legal aspects of events, volunteer services, logistics and design. I'm sure that in time I will be able to educate myself in all these various areas and i'm excited to see how they unfold in the future events I will plan.
