Event Planning: The Ultimate Guide To Successful Meetings, Corporate Events, Fundraising Galas, Conferences, Conventions, Incentives and Other Special Events 2nd Edition

I purchased for my UCLA course. This book is the perfect guide for those new to the event planning industry.

The MBA Book Of Event PlanningThis book gets 5-stars. It is the best book about event planning in the market place today. We have been in the event planning business for 15-years and the author shows us some tricks and tips that we never dreamed of before. Not an inexpensive book, but worth every dime that you will pay for it. If I owned the rights to this excellent book, I would increase the size of the book to catalog size and spiral bind it so that is could lay flat when opened. I would also create a wide margin on one side of the page for user notes.But all in all, a great guide to putting on an event.

It covers A-Z in the event industry with practical examples ( case studies) under each subject. The formats and templates attached we're helping with relevant references

this book was useful and required for my event planning class. it gives you a outline of what to do for different events. go with a used copy, you wont be missing anything by buying the newest one. I bought a later version of the book and passed my class

This book is an excellent resource for new or experienced event planners. The author does an excellent job of explaining how corporate events and private parties are organized and executed. I would recommend this text to anyone looking to get into those areas. Unfortunately, there is not much about college and university event planning, which is specifically what I am using it for.

After I started the book seemed hard to read, but it is full of useful information and will be a resource to me moving forward.

No matter how large or small this book offers a wonderful "think through" for any event. It is always on my shelf to refer to for ideas as well as that definitive checklist that is so crucial to running a great event. Kodos.

I’m only through chapter one and I’ve been pitched two books by the same author and multiple websites of pretty specific services I should use. Not sure if I’m reading a guidebook or an advertising pitch. If she would just keep the website and book recommendations to an index in the back of this book, it would feel different.Not sure I have an interest to continue now. I don’t trust that the information isn’t HIGHLY biased towards her own future book sales and those of her friend/financial supporters.
