"This well-structured and up-to-date book truly provides an excellent and insightful perspective on modern events project management. With a systematic review of theories, well-summarised guides, templates, industry tips, and worldwide cases, it presents an excellent balance between theory and practice, making it essential reading for all event management students." - Dr Cathy Xin Jin, Senior Lecturer, Department of Tourism, Sport and Hotel Management, Griffith University
"This is essential reading for students on event management courses. It is welcome in an industry which is sadly lacking in researched practical support textbooks. The event industry is a dynamic, complex, multi-faceted and layered environment to work within and good project management is essential to successful, safe and sustainable events. This book is a must for anyone considering a career in event management." - Beverley Griffiths, Director of Event and public Safety at The Emergency Planning College.
