What others say…..

Cris Canning has put together a smart guide to the industry's use of words.  Spend time with this before your next industry conversation.                                                                                      Joan L. Eisenstodt, Eisenstodt Associates, LLC

This book is the ultimate tool for members of the hospitality industry.  Cris has done a great job of capturing the language that will help even newcomers to the industry speak like a pro.              Suzette Eaddy, CMP, Director of Conferences, National Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc.

Where a glossary is like a dictionary, Cris has taken industry terms to added depths, so they are more like encyclopedia entries.   So, if you need more information and detailed explanations than glossaries provide, this will be a valuable tool.                                                                           Patti J. Shock, CPCE - Professor and Director of Distance Learning, Harrah College of Hotel Administration -University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Chair of Convention Industry Council’s APEX Terminology Panel.

It follows a logical order for planning a meeting and therefore I think it would be a great addition not only to the professional meeting planners library but also to be used as an addenda to the text that is being used on college campus Meetings programs.                                                  Jim Fausel, CMP, CMM, is the Director of the Meeting Management Institute, School of Community Resources & Development of the Arizona State University

A great primer introducing the myriad words used in the event/meeting planning profession.  Perfect for the occasional planner, the junior planner and students embarking on a career in the profession.                                                                                                                                 Sandy Biback, CMP CMM, Imagination+ Meeting Planners Inc.
