• Events can do much more than just earn revenue and provide a service to members
• Commercialising your events is the key to successful events in the not for profit sector
This book is designed to demonstrate the need for a strategic approach to event management.
Everyone involved and interested in the strategic role that events can play will gain insight from the areas discussed.
With practical examples and thought provoking questions in every chapter we see how the event organiser and senior management can together shape the events business for the benefits of stakeholders or members.
