Whether you’re planning a one-off event and need a bit of guidance or are actually considering a career in events, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for in Event Management for Dummies.
The book covers every aspect of event planning, covering all bases throughout the entire process in an easy to digest format. You’ll find checklists, advice and hints alongside a whole load of information to guide you through every step of the event planning process – even the things you haven’t thought about. This is a must-have for event planners!
What I love about this book is how the author strips down the topic into bitesize chunks to enable the reader to read the chapters and really feel like they’re learning and building on their knowledge. I even found myself scribbling notes and underlining the most useful bits for me to remember personally, and it’s brilliant to refer back to at any point. For any event, the devil is in the detail and this book 100% follows suit and describes the detailed planning needed for various types of event.

Ik heb moeite moeten doen om het boek uit te krijgen, het was om den duur echt een opgave om er in verder te lezen, het was best saai.... maar achteraf gezien is het dan ook een informatief boek en geen roman. Inhoudelijk denk ik wel dat het vrij compleet is, alles dat bij event management komt kijken komt ook in het boek aan bod, dus voor iemand die er nieuw in is, is het wel een handige gids denk ik.

Excellent book covering the basics of creating an event.
I liked this book because the author has obviously “walked the walk” with regard to pretty much every aspect of event management. It was also fun to read as she has a good sense of humour and I could easily identify with some of the scenarios described. Recommended for anyone involved with event production.
