By Stefanie Lewis

So, you've been asked to organize the sales conference? Or the office Christmas function—and your boss expects you to juggle all this around your normal workload. Don't despair. Organizing events isn't always about coordinating big fundraising balls or product launches. From the weekly sales team meeting, to a fundraising dinner or four-day industry conference, events are a business tool used to communicate a particular message in a unique way. Event planning is no easy task, but this handy little how-to guide takes you through the entire process step by step. From establishing a budget, choosing a theme, selecting a venue and sending out invitations, to organizing caterers and security, Events Made Simple will make organizing your next office function a breeze. Helpful checklists and templates throughout ensure that no essential detail in your planning is overlooked.
