How to carry out an event
A little bit of wisdom…
“Planning an event can be as simple as reserving a room for your meeting or as complicated as planning a multi-day program with dozens of break-out sessions, meals and coffee breaks, providing attendee registration web-sites, arranging travel, entertainment, selling tickets to the public, and the list goes on. But the key to a successful event, no matter the size, is planning.”
-Duke’s website for event planners
