Reviews

""I recall how useful this text was to me as a student and the excellent references provided by the esteemed writers. Together they have kept the text relevant to our changing event landscape with a global appeal. The authors' passion, experience and commitment make this a must-have book for all students."" * Lisa Ghany, Director Xceptional Events Ltd, Trinidad and Tobago * ""This is a great book, and one I have been using in my teaching for several years. The fact that this is the 4th edition speaks volumes for the quality of the content, the breadth of the case studies included in the book and its direct relevance to industry practice."" * Dr Peter Robinson, Head of Subject, Events, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Carnegie School of Sport, Leeds Beckett University, UK * ""I found Event Planning and Management after months of searching for a course text with the right mix of theory and practice. Teaching event planning while producing a live event is challenging. This book explains the why behind our choices, which makes the work manageable."" * Trenay Perry Bynum, MSP, Assistant Professor, Department of PR and Social Media Management, Belmont University, Nashville Tennessee, USA *
