Important Edits
The Convention Industry Council (CIC) is proud of its new edition
of the
CIC Manual, produced by a team of industry volunteers,
CIC staff and professional editors. Since its publication,
we have received positive feedback, but also discovered
a few errors. Please check this page regularly for new updates
to the 7th edition.
Break-Even
Analysis |
Page 30 (right hand column, "Break-Even Analysis") currently reads: "Add the total fixed costs and the variable costs. Then divide that sum by the number of attendees to determine the registration fee you must charge to break even.
CORRECT: The total fixed costs should be divided by the
number of attendees. Then add the variable costs per person.

Accessibility
|
Page 201 (section entitled "Access to the stage") currently reads: "The angle of the incline is determined by the following maximum formula: For every 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) in height, the ramp must be 1 foot (.3 meters) long." Page 206 (section entitled "Checklist: Function Room Set Up") currently reads: "Provide ramp with railing to the stage at least 1 foot (.3 meters) long for every 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) in height." CORRECT: On both pages the formula should read, "For every 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) in height, the ramp must be 12 inches (30.48 centimeters) long." |
