SMART Event Planning™
Amazing Events start with SMART Planning!
Now available free exclusively at events.org!
Staying organized and managing every detail is essential when planning a memorable and flawless event.You are in charge of your next event, from start to finish, sometimes with no clear direction from your clients. This involves coming up with a creative event idea that your clients love, executing the planning process, getting a venue, catering, decorations, and vendors—everything down to the last detail. Then, after all the planning is done, you still have to throw the event and get through the event!
Events.org has helped thousands of organizations with their events over the past twenty years. We have created a free event planning tool for you to use for your next. It can be catered to any event type, corporate events, conferences, golf outings, galas, and more.

Why is an event plan checklist needed? A lot goes into planning an event, pre, during, and post. With a list acting as an inventory of everything needed to be done, you can keep track of what you and your team have done and update it daily to ensure you are completing your tasks.
With the event plan template, you may upload your own excel file of all your tasks, or choose from our pre-crafted event plan templates created for a wide range of events. This will help you understand what you need to keep track of for each type of event.
A checklist is great for planning but even better for the day of the event. Since the event plan is entirely customizable after you have used preloaded plans for planning the event, you can create your own for the day of the event!
There is so much going on in such a short period compared to the event planning process; you have a single day (or a few days for longer events) to execute all your plans and create the best event. Putting both bigger and smaller things on the checklist will assist you in not forgetting anything, even if it is as simple as ensuring the caters have enough table space to set up the food. These small things are still significant. You don’t typically think of it on the day of the event. Therefore, a checklist is helpful. Multiple ones can be made as well. Split them into high and low urgency tasks and consider delegating the lists to different team members.
An event planning tool like this on Events.org now allows you to handle every aspect of your event on one platform. From planning, creating an events page, selling tickets, promoting your event, obtaining auction items if needed, and everything in between.
