Getting the most out of the "Event Planning" template

Are you planning an upcoming event and want to ensure it goes smoothly? Ora's Event Planning template can help you stay on top of every little detail.

What is event planning?

Event planning is the process of managing and organizing an event from start to finish, including determining the event's purpose, selecting the venue, choosing vendors and suppliers, managing logistics, developing a timeline, and coordinating all aspects of the event to ensure its success. Event planners may work on a variety of events, including corporate meetings, weddings, conferences, trade shows, fundraisers, and more. The goal of event planning is to create a memorable experience for attendees while meeting the event objectives and staying within budget.

Lists in this project

The template is composed of four lists:

Resources

Here you can list all the resources you need for your event, such as equipment, catering, and decorations. You can use custom fields to add important details like cost, availability, and delivery dates.

Before Event

This list includes all the tasks you need to complete before the event, such as sending invitations, booking a venue, and organizing transportation. You can add due dates and assign tasks to specific team members to ensure everyone is on the same page.

Day of Event

On the day of the event, it's important to have a clear and organized plan. This list can include tasks such as setting up the venue, greeting guests, and managing any last-minute issues that may arise. You can use labels to indicate the priority of each task and keep track of progress in real-time.

After Event

After the event is over, there are still a few things left to do. This list can include tasks such as cleaning up the venue, sending thank-you notes, and evaluating the success of the event. You can use the completion date feature to track when each task is completed and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
