It is important to continuously learn and stay updated on industry trends and best practices to thrive in the field of event planning.

To get into events without a degree, focus on gaining practical experience and building a strong skill set. Here are some steps you can take:

• Volunteer at local events or charities to gain hands-on experience and network with industry professionals.
• Look for internships or entry-level positions in event planning companies or organisations to learn the ropes of the industry.
• Attend industry events, conferences, and trade shows to connect with professionals and expand your network.
• Use online courses, workshops, and certifications to enhance your knowledge and demonstrate your commitment.
• Create a portfolio showcasing your event planning projects, including volunteer work, internships, or personal events.
• Start by planning small events for friends, family, or local organisations to gain experience and build a track record.

Remember, practical experience, networking, and a strong skill set can often be more valuable than a degree in event planning.
