ON-SITE MANAGEMENT

Goals for the chapter:
Develop and implement event contingency plans
Monitor each element of an event during event operations
Establish and manage efficient registration operations
Coordinate industry and professional speakers
Identify and utilize appropriate amenities
Indentify, create, and post informative signs

I just skimmed this chapter. Over the summer, I had an internship with Girl Scouts. This was exactly what I did the whole time- met with caterers and props donors and made sure that everything matched and fit and ran smoothly for three of their annual events.
