Meeting and Event Planning For Dummies (For Dummies Series)

I truly enjoyed Meeting and Event Planning For Dummies because the information is simple and to the point. This book gives alot of websites to help with event planning. Also, it gives information of things that you would never think about when planning an event. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to plan events or who does event planning for a living.

Super informational and love this book! 10/10 would recommend to understand a lot about events and meetings.

I purchased "Meeting & Event Planning for Dummies" by Susan Friedmann because I am researching ways of marketing and attracting people to such public events as fan conventions. Unfortunately, Friedmann's book has little to say about such matters. It does contain a lot of information for businesses who wish to schedule more specifically targeted events (such as consortium meetings) for clients or potential clients. One particularly interesting section discusses methods of identifying and scheduling appropriate speakers for such events. The book also contains information on how a business' representatives can optimize the effectiveness of their appearances at trade shows. I found the book a good starting place for such information. It is current enough to have a variety of references to useful Websites, most of which appear current. (I have not reviewed them all.) But it is most appropriate for specialized types of events (such as businesses who have a targeted and/or more or less captive audience) rather than for groups attempting to schedule more general public events.

I liked this book because I didn't want to pay to take a class on this topic, but I wanted to learn the tricks of the biz. I love the helpful tidbits this book offers. a great start to my collectionl

Technology has changed the gameInformation was good for understanding building blocks

Wish I had this book years ago. Learned a lot.

Usually the "for Dummies" series contains books with a good overview of content and decent writing. This book is crap! If I could return it from my Kindle I would.

Great book. I graduated from as an Event Planner and the book has been a great help in my planning of events.
