Excellent Event Planning "How To"

It's all here. For the person just starting out, this book is a must have. For those who have been in the business for a long time, the book is still a great resource.

New Class Textbook

I have always been a disciple of Julia Silvers' work. This book will serve in 2008 as the textbook for my new class entitled "Everything about Events". I am delighted with the robust information available throughout this book.
