The International Association of Venue Managers

The association that I am going to discuss is the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM).  This association focuses entirely on the needs of facility managers and companies that serve public assembly facilities.  Since I will be managing a club to promote gospel artists, I wanted to share with my readers exactly what this association does and how it can enhance my abilities to provide an exclusive facility where you can be sure to be well received by the public and get the exposure to the entertainment world that is imperative in order for you to further your career.

First of all, it is a resource for industry information and a networking tool to create relations with key industry leaders.  The association also has benefits to help me serve you better.  For example, the association has an IAVM Resource Center.  It has an extensive research and video library that includes media on topics such as crowd control, safety and security.

They also have a Certified Facility Executive Program where I can earn the designation as an expert in the field, which can accelerate my career and my clients can feel confident that when they contract to perform at my facility, they will be in the best of hands.

They also have annual conventions and trade shows that I will attend where I can meet with over 1000 top decision-makers and over 300 companies that provide products and services to the industry. In addition to this, there is a Senior Executive Symposium, an intensive three-day program developed by Cornell University’s World Class Program in Executive Development for the Hospitality Industry.  I will learn strategic planning, negotiation and leadership skills.  By being a member of this association , I can ensure you that I will strive to provide to you the very best in venue services.
