[Leah Sciabarrasi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is right on target. It includes amazing, concise information that a person would need to carry out a conference or event. I'm on five conference planning committees and this book helped me to fill in the gaps. It includes step-by-step schedules and organizes all the information you need to know in would-be committees. The only thing I thought that it could have used was more order- such as some of the chapters aren't really in order of importance.
