I have just been assigned by my CEO (an Israeli) to organise a conference on Security-in -Africa to be held here in Nigeria and we have renowned professionals in this particular security sector already contacted and have agreed to come speak at the event.

This is our maiden conference and my first time organizing this type of event. I certainly know there must be some criteria to be met for a successful event,but the challenge is(are) the step(s) to take in preparing for this event as regards regulations.

Is their a body in-charge of approving this event-type?
Are their some documentation that needs to be submitted to the body?

Any other additional info would be highly appreciated.
The event is billed for June but we want to start now for preparations.

Thanks.

@Mynd44 kindly put on FP,would be highly appreciated.
