Ti ringrazio.
Tra i miei trascorsi professionali ho anche avuto a che fare con l'organizzazione di eventi e questo era il nome dato all'ufficio operativo, che si occupava degli aspetti logistici e di contatto con i partecipanti a vario titolo - relatori; ospiti; fornitori; pubblico generico; ecc. - alle manifestazioni.

Can't say that ORGANISATION OFFICE really rings any bells. Apart from anything else, it is somewhat ambiguous: it could also mean the office of an organisation, for example.

Other common alternatives (again without direct reference to "organisation") would be:

Administration Office
or
Administrative Office

Asker: Thank you Colin, could be an alternative.. though my client would like to see the word "organisation" in the expression.. have you ever found or heard of such an office?

Asker: thank you for your explanation, this will help me in explaining my client why you can't use the expression he suggested

administration office


Explanation:
"Communications office" could imply public relations, which is only a part of the responsibilities you've described.

In reply to your client's query, 'organisation office' doesn't work in English.
