Abstract
This report draws on the experience of IDRC‘s involvement in 15 large conferences as co-convener and/or initiator. It identifies the need for more conscious planning across the Centre in the early stages of engagement to maximize efficiencies, with the aim of making it easier for the Centre to monitor the real costs and associated outcomes of large conferences. The report suggests how the findings might apply to key administrative functions as they relate to IDRC‘s engagement with large conferences.
