Description:
Planning a meeting or event is no easy task. Just ask any of the
administrative staffers who are increasingly being asked to do it. One
minor mistake -- a plane ticket that doesn't arrive on time, not enough
vegetarian meals at the luncheon, the wrong kind of audio-visual
equipment -- can mean big trouble. Now this handy little how-to guide
takes secretaries and assistants through the entire process
step-by-step. From site selection and registration dos and don'ts to
negotiating with vendors and food and beverage planning, this book
gives them everything they need to get a meeting planned right. Packed
with floor plans, checklists, glossaries of industry- specific terms,
lists of resources, and more, Planning Successful Meetings and Events
is sure to transform any take-charge assistant into the Martha Stewart
of meeting and event planning. It's a good thing. ANN J. BOEHME (Valley
Stream, NY) is founder and president of Meetings and Management
Techniques Plus, a meeting planning firm specializing in program
development, marketing, and program planning.
