Convention Industry Council has worked upon a new tool APEX OfficeReady, termed as a user-friendly toolset taking the hassle out of planning meetings and events.

The tool contains a collection of more than 200 event management and
business templates, including those developed through APEX (Accepted
Practices Exchange) as the industry standard. It is designed to
interface with the Microsoft Office suite of software programs,
specifically Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, says the company. CIC says the
new tool places easy-to-use APEX templates into the hands of users.

APEX OfficeReady is being made available for $99.95 USD and can be
purchased at www.conventionindustry.org

Juli Finnell Jones, vice president, CIC, stated there are three reasons,
which led to the development of APEX OfficeReady. "First, it helps event
organizers lead the industry in the implementation of accepted practices
developed by APEX. It also gives customers an incredibly functional
product that takes the hassle out of planning events and offers a great
value. It also provides vital revenue for APEX so that continued
refinement and implementation of accepted practices can be possible for
the future."

"One of the most important features of APEX OfficeReady is that, if a
user registers his copy, he will automatically receive updates with new
APEX templates and tools as they are available," says the company.

As per an official release, some of the tools packaged within APEX
OfficeReady include the APEX Industry Glossary (over 3,900
industry-approved terms, acronyms and abbreviations and their respective
definitions); the APEX Event Specifications Guide (industry's format to
use in preparing and sharing complete instructions and details for
events); completed samples of all hard-copy APEX templates for
reference; all checklists from The Convention Industry Council Manual,
7th Edition; the built-in ability to create an Adobe-compatible PDF file
so that users can distribute secure files via email or post them to a
website; an automatic profile feature that inserts the users name,
address, and event-related relevant information into new documents
automatically.
