Events Feasibility and Development

Events Feasibility and Development: From Strategy to Operations 2nd Edition outlines the best practice in event development and the global events sector. Tools and techniques from the first edition have been refined and expanded through their use in over 20 countries, including the USA, France, UAE, Malaysia and South Africa.
