Hospitality is one of the major milestones that are required to achieve in the event. Sponsor liaison, reception of guest and hospitality services to the participants are important for the project.
In order to organize the project, an executive requires to be placed in charge of the committee. The project expense above normal production support activities are generally unbudgeted expenditures for the activities. An executive has budgetary authority that will allow the committee of the project acting quickly and decisively on requests as well as protocols, which will be made using present vision of the project.
In the committee charter, the steering committee is recommended for operating the charter.
