Event Management Checklist - Tips

Event Management checklist

Find below some tips on creating an Event Management checklist.

1. Define your event’s goals and objectives:
Goals are usually specific and measurable – SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-based. Objectives are the strategies and steps that you use to attain the goals you have set. By setting well-defined expectations, you make your event goals specific. DO try to use numbers/percentages to make your event’s success measurable e.g.

  • Simply, do you wish your guests to have an utterly amazing experience?
  • How many people do you want to attend in person?
  • Do wish to make a profit? If so how much?
  • Do you want to increase attendance?
  • Do you want to increase registration?
  • Do you want to increase brand-awareness?

2. Calculate a rough budget for your event:

  • As a benchmark, consult budgets from past events
  • Fill in the holes with educated guesses
  • How much will tickets cost?

3. Select a date:

  • Choose a best date but also a plan B date

4. Choose your entertainment:

5. Choose a location, venue, and vendors:

  • What geographic area is best for your event?
  • How many people will be attending your event?
  • Does the venue have the infrastructure you need?
  • Do you need Wi-Fi?
  • Would you like to live stream?
  • Are there local vendors you can rely on?

6. If you wish to promote your event (pre- & post event):

  • Promote your event on your homepage and write blog posts
  • Utilise digital marketing like newsletters and social media
  • Distribute your event on online event calendars
  • Consider offering an early bird discount
  • Consider producing a promo video
