      Any questions about Event Management? Meet the new E.Q.A.C team!


How many times, while planning an event, did you ask yourself ‘Am I 
organizing everything the right way?’, ‘Do I have enough money?’ or ‘Is 
the event really AEGEE-like?’. It’s time to have an answer to all the 
questions you might have in terms of ‘AEGEEan’ event management: your 
solution is called Events Quality Assurance Committee (E.Q.A.C). The 
E.Q.A.C is in charge of an important mission: checking whether European 
events are organized in accordance with AEGEE standards and giving 
support to the locals in terms of event planning. Meet their team here
