List out all tasks
Create a list of all tasks and subtasks at every phase of the event, from planning to post-event activities. This approach will help you and your team allocate time and resources, ensuring the tasks are completed on time.
Organize your team and delegate tasks
Bring together a team that shares your vision. Assign responsibilities to each team member, and clearly define expectations with respect to each task and set deadlines. This helps you and your team keep track of tasks.
Draw up a budget
Having a well-defined budget is essential to avoid over-spending and financial surprises. Even if an exact budget isn't feasible, you can arrive at estimations and work with that. All aspects of the event—venue, support staff, food & beverage, decor, entertainment, marketing, and audiovisual—need to have a budget that your team is aware of.
Identify sponsors, partners, and vendors
Find the right sponsors, partners, and vendors for your event. Establish communication with them and share relevant details. Clear, focused, and relevant communication helps make collaboration smooth and ensure your event runs smoothly.
Launch marketing initiatives
When you plan an event, make sure the right audience knows about and attends the event. Plan your marketing efforts by identifying key channels and creating compelling materials, like flyers, videos, and invitations. Create messaging that will resonate with your target audience, and launch your campaigns well in advance to build anticipation and boost participation.
Run the show
The day of the event is always the busiest. Track what’s happening as the event progresses and document everything as the day unfolds. Use your event planner’s mobile app to track progress and make updates from anywhere, ensuring smooth operations and immediate response to potential issues.
Follow up after the event
Collect feedback from attendees once the dust has settled. Analyze metrics to assess the event and come up with improvements for future events. Plan follow-up marketing campaigns to leverage any momentum and capitalize on the event’s success.
