Microsoft Project is a schedule and resource management program. It focuses on things like CPM (Critical Path Method). I doubt you need that.
I think that for managing an event you really need something like a good PIM. Something that manages to-do lists and calendars. I read an article recently where the author interviewed the 10 most productive people he knew. He found that they did not even rely on something as fancy as a PIM. They used word processing or spreadsheets to manage their to-do lists. On that theme and if you need something that multiple people can access simultaneously from many locations you might find that Google Apps is all you need. It has a nice way to manage multiple calendars. You can post to-do lists as text documents or spreadsheets. You can keep track of expenses with the spreadsheet. >It's very easy if you've ever used Microsoft Project.
