Why we do what we do
Meeting and event planners are overloaded with work. You're already planning one meeting when another pops up, then a conference, then a sales retreat, then...
We are here to give you your life back. You need more time to work on strategy, your personal life, or whatever you want without using your precious time figuring out the details of your next meeting.
​
We started Meetings Academy as your source for information on how to make your meeting and event planning easier so you can live your life the way you want.
Your meetings & events expert
Hi there! I'm Dr. Dede Hamm and I'm a certified meeting planner with a background in teaching. I worked as a planner in the events industry for 15 years, then taught hospitality and event planning for another 15 years to college students who dreamed of being professional event planners.
​
These 30 years of experience really led me to understand that everyone needs help making events easier. Meetings Academy is your one-stop source for the information you need to plan your meeting. Could you figure out how to do it on your own? Sure...by why waste that time when you have a professional who can help?
​
I spent years learning how to plan great meetings. Now I want to provide this resource to you so you don't have to just "figure it out". You'll have the info you need to plan great meetings with less stress, and get time back to do what you really want (which I know is not planning meetings and events).
