He covers events from local afternoon Symposia to International Congresses with more than 1000 participants. He also provides insights for the tourist industry into the specific requirements that make scientific meetings different from others. The author gets straight to the point, identifying common problems and offering solutions. In twenty chapters and an extensive appendix, attention is given to critical details such as selection of the meeting site and timing of the event; stepwise program development; the selection of speakers and other key participants; social functions; budget matters; fund raising; the design of forms and brochures; publication of proceedings. If you are organizing a scientific meeting this is your indispensable guide.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e 1.
