Description

Let’s be honest: Event planning is notoriously stressful. Event planners have countless factors to consider when preparing and launching an event, and with so many spinning plates in the air it’s easy to forget a critical detail and send the team into a tailspin.

Having a virtual event planning checklist can take some of the guesswork out of the planning process. I’ve crafted this one to cover the entire process – before, during, and after — and to hopefully take your blood pressure down a couple of notches too.

How to Use it

This checklist is organized into three key planning phases to help you get the most out of your virtual event. The three phases, and their sub-topics, are:

  • Before Your Event: Determine your goals, budget, event type, sponsors, content, event platform, IT needs, guest registration & payment options, and promotion plans.
  • During Your Event: Plan for ways to promote audience engagement, encourage networking, and gather useful attendee data.
  • After Your Event: Digest your post-event data, document your data-driven findings, and flag takeaway items to highlight in post-event follow-up communications.
