Every event should begin with a planning checklist. It’s crucial to help determine the scope of what you would like to accomplish — and ensure you can accomplish these goals within your allotted budget and time frame. Good event planning always requires close attention to these three pillars: scope, time, and budget.
The event templates page provides samples of complex and simple event planning forms, as well as a comprehensive timeline.
Another good checklist is the Business Services flier, Taking Advantage of the Event Planner Card. It provides a clear overview of the many types of event expenditures and payment options.
