Planning an event can be as thrilling as the event itself, but it can also be a logistical jigsaw puzzle. With this template, you're not just getting a tool; you're unlocking a smoother path to a successful event. This planner template creates a centralized event plan that any event organizer can use to bring a team together.

Why you should use this template

Let's face it, event planning is no small feat. But with the right resources, it can be a walk in the park. Other event planners are static, but this template brings the planning process to life. It can connect to 6,000+ apps and can be re-used for multiple events. It combines the event checklist and tasks with the level of detail you'd need to run a successful event.

How the template works

This template uses multiple forms to capture all the necessary information. You start by creating a new event with some details like:

  • event title
  • event start date and time
  • event end date and time
  • location or venue
  • description

You can add as much event detail as you'd like by simply adding more fields to the form. After the basic details for an event are added, you'll see event coordinator information so that the team knows who the main point of contact is for the event. You'll add:

  • full name
  • phone
  • email

The next step is to define the event scope. This includes things like target audience, objectives, identified risks and management, and success measures.

Event scope

The last step is to create a task checklist by adding individual event tasks through a form. You can always add more, later. You'll be brought to an events page with all the details and tasks.

In the task list, you can click to notify the assignee via Slack, Gmail, or any other app you'd like to configure to ensure they meet the deadlines. You'll need to configure each workflow with your own accounts by navigating into each form the home page. When a notification is sent, the person is redirected into a task list that filters down the tasks specific to them.
