An event is an experience, carefully crafted to deliver an impact on the person in attendance. The activities, environment, and layers of multi- sensory effects are integrated into an event design that is staged and choreographed with precision and polish. The best event experience is one in which the mechanics are imperceptible to the attendee and the in- tended impact is delivered effectively and invisibly. | 9/9/03 9:05 AM Page i Professional Event Coordination 9/9/03 9:05 AM Page ii The Wiley Event Management Series SERIES EDITOR: DR.
