DMC BOOK

This book is very informational but there are more books that are needed if you really want to get into this type of field.

Ideal for starters in the meeting planning business!

Pat Schaumann's book is the first of its kind in the destination management business, i.e. inbound ground operations for groups and events. Although primarily destined at a North American audience, this book is nevertheless a very good guide for both DMC professionals and event buyers. Choosing the right local partner can make or break your event. From transportation to contracts this book makes a detailed analysis on how to make a successful event AT A LOCATION OTHER THAN YOURS.

Great for new board members

This book is a wonderful resource for those who are joining their first non-profit (or any) board of directors.
