"Great textbook for a student going into event and entertainment production. The book gives the big picture to ensure that all aspects are part of planning. I would recommend it for any student planning a career in event or venue management so they can understand all the components of the event, whether they produce the technical aspects or not" - Denise DiRienzo,Communication Studies Professor, State University of New York at Oswego
"An excellent resource for special event production, covering fields rarely touched by other event management books. The book is very structured, easy-to-follow, comprehensive, and full of professionals’ experiences. Especially, the Voices of the Industry are insightful and Production War Stories are gripping. It is a must-to-have reference for special event management professionals and students." - Cathy Xin Jin, Lecturer, Department of Tourism, Sports and Hotel Management, Griffith Business School
