Testimonial

Conferences That Work provides solid information on how to plan meetings that will engage groups and drive discussions that lead to innovation, solution, and high level peer networking. I have read more than my share of conference textbooks through obtaining a diploma in Event Management, teaching Event Management and seeking the perfect tools, and finishing a degree in Hospitality Management. Many are good, some even great. This is one of them. If you are a meeting host, a must read.Tahira Endean
