Along the way, he presents simple explanations of common terminology and practical guides on a range of subjects from identifying content to working with venues, via integrated risk management, sustainability, and a whole lot more. "I have a unique perspective on how events work... This book brings together practical advice from my own experiences with reflections from an exciting career which I hope will inspire you, whatever stage you are at on your events journey." PAUL J.
