Event Planning and Management by Ruth Dowson, Bernadette Albert and Dan Lomax is a comprehensive guide designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying event management, event planning or public relations, as well as for early-stage practitioners preparing to deliver professional events.

Through a structured exploration of the event lifecycle, this textbook shows how to research, design and plan events that meet audience and stakeholder objectives. Students will learn how to select venues, manage budgets, create promotional strategies and handle on-site delivery and evaluation. The fourth edition introduces new content on contemporary issues including health and safety regulations, contracts and legal compliance and sustainable event practices that reflect today's ethical and environmental priorities.
Learning is supported throughout by:
-'Event hacks' offering expert insights from experienced event managers
-Practical checklists for planning, managing and evaluating events
-Adaptable templates drawn from real-world professional practice
