Why teams use this template
End-to-end planning for any event before the doors open: brief and scope intake, budget and venue, permits and compliance (fire department AVCB, operating permit, public liability insurance, music rights, food safety), vendor contracting, production schedule, and a pre-event readiness sign-off. When this work runs through inboxes and ad-hoc spreadsheets, ownership gets fuzzy and evidence gets lost. Event Planning gives you a 7-step process with 2 checkpoints and a built-in SLA so nothing slips between handoffs.
Built for teams led by Account, Production Coordinator, and Director: every task has a named owner, every approval routes to a real role, and the run history is the audit trail your auditors actually want.
The checkpoint tasks ("Permits and compliance (AVCB, operating permit, insurance, music rights, food safety)" and "Checkpoint, Pre-event readiness sign-off") cannot be skipped, they're where the run produces evidence the next stage depends on. Overdue runs escalate automatically, and you start with structure instead of building it from scratch every time.
