“David Becker has produced an invaluable piece of essential reading for anyone joining or being promoted through the events business. Having a fundamental understanding of contracting, supported by a template of contracts should hugely increase the effectiveness and efficiency of everyone in the events industry – as well as, in the long term, saving hours of work and many thousands of pounds on legal fees.
Anyone in any way linked to the events industry will find it most useful and perhaps more importantly, most readable!”
Alan Pacoe, Chairman, Fast Track Events, Vice-Chairman of London 2012 Olympic Bid Committee and Director of Paralympic World Cup Limited

"As someone who has achieved success in the business of event staging I can assure you that one thing you need in place from the word go is a contract . And that contract be it for a venue or services will be the first of a number that follow each independent of the other yet apparently dependant on each for the overall success. It seems so obvious that this book should have been written a long time ago. It's a book I needed when I started out and one which I will actively promote to my staff and young entrepreneurs I mentor."
Kanya King, CEO & Founder, MOBO Music Awards

"David knows his stuff…his legal guide to events is a must for both the experienced event promoter as well as organizations who may be contemplating staging sporting occasions in future. My copy is always close at hand…”
Richard Dorfman, Commercial & Broadcast Director, Managing Director (London), A1 Grand Prix

"This book is an invaluable resource for any venue owner who is in  the business of hosting or staging events."
