I wrote How to Plan a Great Event in 60 Days™ because I wanted to help people navigate the complex world of organizing large events. I know there’s a need for this type of book because I’ve been there myself.
Years ago, when I worked as a public relations executive, I was tapped to organize several large events. I hadn’t organized events like this previously and had to figure it out all on my own along the way. Over time, and 16+ events later, I had developed an event planning system that allowed me to keep things straight and find what I needed in a pinch.
This certainly helped me when I was organizing up to five events at the same time! This eBook is the book I wish I had when I was organizing events. It’s filled with simple step-by-step instructions, practical tips, and thougthful exercises that show you how to plan an event day by day, week by week.
