 Simple and out-datedJul 10, 2008
By James Lachman
While a bulk of the book is filled with helpful (if not common sense) tips on planning an event... the truly important section, the resources section, is horribly out of date.
Many of the publication, speaking society, portal, and technology company links are not functional.
I've never tried to plan an event without having resources. If you don't want to be in that situation either, I'd suggest skipping this book.

 OutdateApr 19, 2012
By OASH
This book was a waste of money. It was written in 2003. This is a topic that requires up to date information. TO THE WRITTER, Either update the info or stop sell this book. the only thing i can use it for is a door stopper. Wish i read the reviews before wasting my money including shipping. what a mistake.
A Wealth of InformationNov 14, 2011
By Caprice L. Williams
I truly enjoyed Meeting and Event Planning For Dummies because the information is simple and to the point. This book gives alot of websites to help with event planning. Also, it gives information of things that you would never think about when planning an event. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to plan events or who does event planning for a living.
