The MeetGuide

"After all, how hard can it be to get a room and order some coffee?" Trust me. It is much more complicated and harder than people think. And I am here to help you to be better at what you do and further your career. I have been an educator in the Meetings and Events industry since 2000 and never stopped loving teaching and connecting my students to the industry. I will greet you with both of my arms wide open if you want to be one of 11,000 CMPs in the world.

"I walked out of Joanne's class with so much knowledge, not just about my CMP but also about real-life Meeting Industry knowledge"

- Kirsten Franco, CMP

"Meet Joanne. In business, if you’re fortunate, you have a mentor to guide stretches of your journey. When I decided to invest in myself and get the Certified Meeting Professional designation (CMP), I searched for a coach and found Joanne on YouTube. I took my exam under her tutelage and passed with ease."

- Lauren Nance, CMP

"If I could do it all over again, I would have started with Joanne first!Joanne was wonderful in assisting in my studies and quest for my CMP. Without her tips and advice, I would have not had the confidence to pass the exam."

- Bre Binder, CMP

"Simply put, her study strategies, guidance and support were exactly what I needed to tackle this achievement. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor throughout this process!"

- Kaitlyn Barry-Brown, CMP

"I highly recommend taking Joanne's class because you will start to apply her teachings outside of the classroom and truly have the opportunity to take your event planning career to where you want to go."

- Jordan Lacey, CMP

"Thinking about going for your CMP? I can't recommend working with Joanne Dennison. MSEd, CMP (The MeetGuide) enough! She approaches studying and preparation in a strategic way that will help you stay focused and on track to succeed. "

- Kaitlynn James, CMP

“I took Joanne Dennison's CMP class and feel she is an excellent instructor. She reviews everything in detail, takes her time and is always willing to help even after the class. I would highly recommend taking Joanne's class when studying for the CMP class.”

- Margie Pavone, CMP

"After taking Joanne's class, I had a better understanding of the domains and where to focus my attention. I was reminded of some best practices as well as practical information that prepared me for the exam and which I was able to put to use immediately in my events."

- Nicole, CMP
