Certified Government Meeting Professional (CGMP) Course



To protect the health and safety of attendees, this event has been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns.

 

The Certified Government Meeting Professional Course is to earn the CGMP designation and is designed for government meeting planners and suppliers whose work is governed by the rules and regulations of the federal government. While the curriculum is written from Federal rules, regulations, and laws, state and local government employees will benefit from this information. Individuals who have earned their CGMP have obtained the highest designation available that is specifically for government meeting professionals. 

 

Included in the course material are seven sections with specific and thorough instruction in ethics, Federal budget and appropriations, acquisition and contracting, Federal travel regulations, RFPs, risk management and protocol.

 

The CGMP is recognized in the hospitality industry; many government contracts now require planners working on the contract have their government certification.

 

To earn this designation, government meeting professionals must be a current member of SGMP and have at least one year's experience in the meetings/hospitality industry.

 

In addition to demonstrating your commitment to enhancing your government expertise and to improving the quality of your meetings, earning your CGMP has numerous benefits for your career and for your employer.

 

The cost of the 3 day course and exam on day four is $595 which covers the cost of the course, exam, and manual. Questions about the CGMP certification? Contact us at education@sgmp.org
