Academic Note on Senior Secretariat on the Department of General Assembly Affairs & Conference Management:

At the Real United Nations: "The Department for General Assembly and Conference Management (DGACM) is the largest in the United Nations Secretariat. The overreaching goal of the Department is to provide the physical and deliberative framework for meetings at the United Nations. To create that framework, the work of the Department follows three great through-lines: first, technical secretariat support and advice to intergovernmental bodies; second, meetings management; and third, documentation management. Taken together, the purpose of the timely provision of all services is to give delegates everything they require when they require it in order for them to successfully accomplish the tasks that they have set for themselves. Technical secretariat support + meetings management + documentation management = conference management".
