Description:
Special Event Production: The Process is a comprehensive guide to the behind-the-scenes intricacies of special event planning and production. This updated second edition delves into the planning and business aspects of creating successful events, from weddings to large festivals. The book provides a unique, detailed look at budgeting, resource allocation, planning, and cost projections, all while emphasizing the importance of well-crafted proposals.

New to this edition are three chapters focusing on Event Design, Information Technology, and Sustainability in Event Production. Additionally, updated case studies from countries such as the USA, Canada, India, Russia, and Malaysia bring real-world perspectives. The book introduces an "Industry Voice" feature, offering interviews with industry experts about their experiences in event production and planning.

The text also includes content on technology, volunteers, venues, PR, and marketing, as well as enhanced online resources such as PowerPoint lecture slides, checklists, glossaries, sample contract templates, production schedule templates, and evaluation forms. Packed with photographs, diagrams, and flowcharts, this easy-to-read book guides readers through the entire event planning process—from the initial creativity and proposal to budgeting, risk management, contracts, and post-event follow-up.

This book is a must-have resource for event planners, managers, caterers, and students. Special Event Production: The Process is the first part of a two-book set, with the second book, Special Events Production: The Resources, focusing on the technical aspects of large-scale events.
