meeting professionals is 'not brain surgery', Julia Silvers comprehends
the issues that will keep people safe and secure and is able to convey
methods by which industry professionals can prepare for contingencies.
This book provides anyone - meeting planner, facility or vendor staff,
volunteer - involved in meeting and event management with an
understanding of why and how to keep people and property safe at events.
A must read."

"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."

THE EVENT MANAGEMENT BODY OF
KNOWLEDGE (EMBOK) PROJECT
Awarded the 2004 ISES Esprit Award for Best
Industry Contribution,
the EMBOK Project is an international endeavor to provide a knowledge framework
and descriptive summary of the scope and processes that are used in the
management of events, and serves as an educational resource for current and
future event management professionals.

Dr. Stuart Mann, Dean of the Harrah College
of Hotel Administration at UNLV, presents the 2005 Best Paper Award to
Julia Rutherford Silvers, CSEP for her paper on the EMBOK as a Risk
Management Framework. |
"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."

Consultant, Tasmania's South Regional Tourism Association
