For anyone planning events--student, novice, or experienced professional--Confessions of an Event Planner is an apprenticeship in a book. This insider's guide takes you on a narrative journey, following a fictional event planning company that stages various types of events around the world for many different clients.

While other books, college courses, and training programs give you the theory and how-to of the profession, Confessions of an Event Planner reveals the real world of event planning and what can happen--usually the unexpected--on an event program when actual participants are added to the event planning design and execution mix. In a climate of media scrutiny and corporate scandals, event planners must be masters of discretion, knowing how to avoid and deal with everything from sexual romps to financial shenanigans, to chainsaw wielding salesmen dead set on re-landscaping the grounds of the resort they're staying at. From an event planner who's seen it all and knows how to deal with it all, comes practical first-hand advice delivered in an entertaining and accessible format.
