MenuWhat's the appropriate way to hold professional training in the United States?
I'm an entrepreneur and a lecturer living outside the United States. I recently developed a curriculum and I'm interested in giving it a go there. How can I approach venues and/or co-working spaces who would partner with me to market the training/course?
Answers
I have been involved in C-Level positions in the global trade shows and conferences industry for over 20 years. Planners like myself are very involved with convention centers of all levels and sizes and locations, hotels and smaller venues, in order to place and launch events there. There are literally 850+ line items on our internal project management sheet and timeline.
Questions that we would ask a company like yours include:
1) What markets do you want to approach?
2) Who will be your target audience?
3) Will a Tier 2 or Tier 3 city be the better location?
4) Who is in your current network?
5) Do you prefer a venue or pure conference center or hotel?
6) What is your budget and financial support to launch this program?
7) Who will handle your business in this market and be your contact and management group?
Then there are the operational tasks, marketing, sales, networking with industry leaders, associations, media, multipliers, etc.
These are just the very "tip of the iceberg" topics and 843+ more to go. :-)
I don't mean to take the fun and your energy out of it, but I just want to be direct and upfront.
Let me know if you want to schedule a call and discuss further.
All the best,
Dirk Ebener

What software would you recommend for online training course reservation system?
There's a couple things to take into consideration. Do you want to host the software yourself? If not, look into ticketing solutions like EventBrite or similar. If you're willing to host it, there's a ton of really good solutions available as plugins for WordPress. I work for Modern Tribe, and we make one called Events Calendar Pro which you could use with EDDTickets or WooTickets to easily make this type of website very, very quickly and easily.CC

What is the best online training course registration and management software?
I've used a ton of different plugins and services to create and sell online courses, and here's the best combination I've found: WordPress + Gumroad + ProductPress 1. WordPress: You'll use WordPress to host your course content. I typically put each lesson in a new Page. 2. Gumroad: Use Gumroad to sell your course, handle payments, and to communicate with your customers. 3. ProductPress: the ProductPress plugin will allow you to connect your WordPress site and Gumroad account together. As soon as someone buys your course on Gumroad, they'll automatically be emailed login information for your WordPress site. It's only $39 (one-time fee).

What are the best resources to get up to speed with the admin stuff of the business, such as budgeting, staffing and other general admin stuff
The right answer is that just like dev is a learned, professional skill, so is the business stuff. You can get some skills training from places like www.TeamTreehouse.com - and I would recommend that you do so - but just like you wouldn't want a developer who has never developed anything writing your code, you don't want someone who doesn't know anything about planning and running your business doing that, either.SM
