What do you need?

To plan, organise and run an event, you will need time to investigate, research and plan; you will need methods to help you with that investigation and research, and you need to possess or ‘buy in’ a variety of skills. Those skills include such diverse trades and professions as project management, sign writing, accounting and personnel management.

This book is primarily aimed at helping you to organise an event; I do not cover any of the specialist skills in any depth. For example, I simply touch on administrative and organisational aspects of event accounting that will contribute to the success of your event. If you need expert advice regarding event accounts, you should buy an accountancy book or, better still, consult an accountant or other relevant expert.
