"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 roles as event designer and manager and lecturer, 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."

"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."
