Project Management

Organizing a conference requires knowledge of the critical path of conference management.  Developing the program to communicate the vision of the organizers begins with setting the goals, developing a timeline, preparing a budget and determining the necessary resources to accomplish the task.  During the planning process, the project manager is responsible for the impeccable communications between team members to hold each key member accountable, manage the budget, and deal with the critical issues.  Once the conference or event begins, it is the project manager who coordinates all of the components in a seamless event much like the conductor of an orchestra.  All the audience hears is the beautiful music.
