Managing Convention Centers

Prashant Raturi

Sinopsis

"Managing Convention Centers" helps improve performance through data-driven decision making. We argue that many convention centers rely on intuition rather than data analysis. Our book emphasizes the importance of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) specific to the convention center industry, beyond just financial metrics.
We offer practical advice for convention center staff at all levels, from leadership to supervisors, and also target students and hospitality professionals. Our book explores various KPIs, such as business traveler count, sales and marketing metrics, earned service revenue, and operating expenses. We provide formulas and explain how to interpret the data.
Beyond financials, we explore KPIs related to security, guest behavior, employee safety, and data privacy. We offer best practices and highlight potential challenges. Our book also covers facility condition, capital spending, human resources, and sustainability, all through the lens of KPIs and data analysis.
Finally, we provide guidance on presenting KPIs effectively and implementing a KPI program within a convention center. "Managing Convention Centers" is an essential resource for anyone looking to enhance the performance and efficiency of convention centers.

It's a Game Not a Formula - How...

PhD David M. Giltner

Scientists tend to look for the 'right way' to do things. We are used to chasing after formulas and theories that describe the behavior of the universe, and this expectation that there is a 'right answer' tends to permeate much of what we do. But the world outside the controlled environment of the science lab doesn't work that way. The most successful scientists who enter the private sector approach their work as if it were a game, with rules that need to be followed but with no clear 'right way' to do things. They take risks, make decisions quickly, and don't overthink things. This book presents valuable insights from experienced and successful industry PhD scientists who have shared their valuable stories to help you succeed in the private sector and build that rewarding career you are seeking.

Hanging By A Thread

Erin Deering

What would it take to walk away from your dream life in Monaco and a global, multi-million-dollar business? 
 
Wind back the clock on any Australian or New Zealand woman in her thirties or forties today and you'd probably find a Triangl bikini tucked away in her swimwear drawer. The uniquely neoprene, colour-blocked bikinis were the summer accessory season after season. Yet as customers snapped selfies at the beach, one woman was holed up in a smog-filled Hong Kong apartment, living on canned soup, battling twenty-hour days and debilitating depression, trying to make it all happen. 
 
Hanging by a Thread takes a vulnerable deep dive into success and the challenge of caring for your mental health while in pursuit of your dreams. From getting scammed out of $50,000, trying to illegally cross the border into China, meeting with elite private equity firms with a three-month-old baby in tow and even experiencing the Kardashian-Jenner-kiss-of-death, Hanging By A Thread shares what it was really like behind the closed doors of one of Australia's young start-up success stories, and to be a woman on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
