Planning a conference is no small undertaking. There will be people coming in from not only all of Australia, but also the world. Fortunately, hotels will have a dedicated staff to help you plan every detail of the conference when it comes to accommodation, catering, and the spaces itself. Outside of this, you are going to need to create an organised plan for things like scheduling your days, planning workshops, and deciding who will be speaking at your event.
