Behind the Scenes
The Secrets for Planning Conferences and Retreats
Dan Dumas

INTRODUCTION
Genius has been defined as “having an infinite capacity for taking pains.” Event planners
must love details (the smallest details matter), possess an innate ability to multitask,
interface well with people (servant-driven) and have a serious passion for excellence.
Selecting the right person(s) is crucial to the vision, planning, operation, and success of
the event.
Where do you find such qualified and capable people? Two options are available for you
to pursue. First, look at individuals who have already demonstrated the above skill set on
your staff. Second, ask around your leadership team for suggestions of a volunteer(s) who
is well known for having the right skills. Never settle for mediocrity in the area of event
planning.
