Conference Planning WBS Example

Conference planning work breakdown structure.

A conference WBS breaks a one-off event into a stable set of deliverables. The first levels make planning meetings more useful because they distinguish venue, program, attendees and day-of delivery work. The lower-level packages can be assigned to team members or suppliers and used to build a schedule. Include only the work needed for this event; for example, add sponsorship, catering or travel only when they are in scope. After the event, the same hierarchy helps ensure that feedback and reporting are not overlooked.
