Conferences and Conventions

A Global Industry

By Tony Rogers

There are number of books that deal with the specifics of conference and event management and organisation. However this book takes a look at the industry itself, with in depth research, insight and analysis.

Tony Rogers examines the industry’s origins, its structure, the economics as well as providing portraits of the major industry players. Tony also goes on to outline trends in the conference industry and his predictions for its future.

Conferences and Conventions is a well laid out and easy to read book illustrated with international examples and case studies. The book is a useful tool for industry outsiders wishing to gain insight into the world of conferences and conventions.

Similarly, the comprehensive nature of the book makes it of value to anyone working within the industry looking gain a more global perspective.
