I read this to pass my exams in Event Management. It’s not really complete in terms of theoretical knowledge in the exams but it’s helpful in the oral exam. BTW, I did pass my exams and got perfect score in the finals. I also read several other Event Management Books.

Having planned events for over 20 years, it’s fair to say that Des Conway has a fair bit of experience in what to do and what not to do when it comes to event management.
Conway reveals all he has learned from the mistakes he has made along the way, in this book especially designed to stop fellow event managers from making the same mistakes.
You’ll read about all the different things to consider when planning an event to ensure that you don’t overlook any important details, handy lists to help with this process and even advice on working with third party agencies or contractors to pull off your event.
As an event planner it is of course important that your event is a success and goes down well and achieves your objectives, but you also have to think about it being safe and lawful which is what I found particularly useful about this book. I’ve found that it helps you to understand the principles of planning an event in a way that ensures that whatever you’re planning is not only a hit, but a compliant and safe one, too!

I gave this book three stars because I got it didn't realize that it is a British book and it has some information that only pertains to Great Britain.
