I have made
Professional Event Coordination the set text
for my undergraduate and post-graduate topics. Having read literally
hundreds of event texts in my triple roles as event designer and manager,
lecturer, and PhD student, it was rewarding to finally find one that I can
confidently give to my students, that I didn't have to write copious notes
and corrections in, and which spent almost as much time talking about the
design of events as it did the logistics / operational side of events.

I was half expecting [your book] to tell me a
lot of things I already knew — in reality, every page has been full of
insight and practical advice that I have found extremely useful.

THE EVENT MANAGEMENT BODY OF
KNOWLEDGE (EMBOK) PROJECT
Awarded the 2004 ISES Esprit Award for Best
Industry Contribution,
the EMBOK Project is an international endeavor to provide a knowledge framework
and descriptive summary of the scope and processes that are used in the
management of events, and serves as an educational resource for current and
future event management professionals.
"There
are so many otherwise intelligent professionals who simply cannot understand
the complexities of event production. Your very businesslike approach to
defining our work and spelling out the complexities will be a great tool for
me not only as I plan events, but as I try to educate the executives I
report to."
Nancy Evans, Corporate Event Planner
"My supervisor was thrilled with
the EMBOK concepts you provided and there is no doubt it will be utilized as
we ready to open a 180-acre visitor attraction."
Jodi Molever, Special Events Director, Las Vegas Springs Preserve
"I have found the
EMBOK system very useful when arranging the information for an event
management guide I am developing for community events and festivals in
Tasmania."
