EVENT MANAGEMENT by Spiritual Journeys, Inc

Deepak Singh has been arranging conferences and events since the mid-1990s. During this period he has arranged more than sixty events in the USA, England and India where each event has attracted 200 to 750 individuals, and each being 3 to 8 days long. Some of the shorter events have had 2-3 speakers, whereas the general conferences have had many speakers with keynote lectures and break-out sessions. Normally breakfasts and lunches have been included though some events have included dinners.

In addition, we arrange Retreats which are very much more intimate with fewer guests and two or three speakers, held in small, secluded properties.
