Not bored here.  Still feeling my way through my new role and learning new things.

Gee, don't they have classes/courses/training for event management that you could take that would qualify you for the positions you are interested in?  Do you have to work your way up within the industry?  Seems like you have all the organizational and procurement experience you would need, just lacking the formality of industry training?  In my area there are certificate programs specifically for event management.
