Unique Venues University

Unique Venues, a trusted leader in bringing together one-of-a-kind event venues with meeting planners for 35 years, is taking the next step evolution for educational programming with the launch of Unique Venues University

Industry professionals including Unique Venues clients, non-clients and industry planners will have access to five Spring Semester courses taught by qualified individuals that will run from February to mid-April and then resume with a six course Fall Semester offering set to take place from late September to early December.

As the meetings and events industry ground to a halt early in 2020, Unique Venues quickly identified a need in the marketplace for individuals to remain engaged with other industry professionals through education and professional development. Unique Venues responded by conducting more than 50 webinars, roundtables and client group therapies that explored an array of topics including marketing, sales, venue operations, risk management, and health and wellness. As the industry begins its recovery and looks towards a brighter 2021, a gap still remains in quality education as it relates to the meetings and events industry.

While the goal is to eventually build and offer a collection of courses that are available on-demand, the current roster of classes will run synchronously with a live instructor and range from 1-2 weeks or 6-8 weeks depending on the curriculum. Each will be designed as a course and not a webinar that will have built-in learning objectives and required participation necessary to receive continuing education credits approved by a variety of industry associations. Students who complete a course will also receive a digital credential that can easily be added to LinkedIn profiles or other digital media.

Unique Venues University courses may be approved for continuing education credits (CEUs) by the following organization(s):
Course descriptions, learning outcomes, and faculty bios are submitted to each organization for evaluation. Decisions related to the approval of any individual UVU course are the sole authority of the granting organization. It is the responsibility of individual participants to claim CEU credits with granting organizations according to their normal process.
