For By Event Planners

CECP™ is the first industry certification program that focuses exclusively on event contracts (e.g., venues, venues with sleeping rooms, audiovisual, catering and more). Learn what you need to know about contract essentials, negotiation strategies, and balanced contracts. You’ll also get access to the Planner Protect™ Inc. proprietary balanced event contract checklist for reviewing event contracts, along with the in-depth knowledge and understanding of each point.

“Planner Protect’s work resulted in over $100,000 reduction in required deposits, greatly improving my client’s cash flow, while introducing multiple clauses of protection that even I, with 30 years of experience, hadn’t considered.”
Bettyanne SherrerCMP, CMM, DES – VP & Managing Partner, CanPlan Event & Conferences Services Inc.
“Taking the CECP™ course has been incredibly valuable so far – I particularly like how the course is designed to be taken at your own pace, and there are several methods for learning and retaining the content. I highly recommend this!”
Erica OrecchioAbsolute Conferences & Events Inc.
“Before Planner Protect, venue contracts always left me stressed and unsure. Now, I confidently sign contracts that reflect a true partnership between the selected venues and my clients. Planner Protect’s guidance and coaching are invaluable.”
