Intro to Event Planning & Management (with Google Sheets)

🎊 Whether you're hosting a surprise party or planning a large corporate event, you want to follow a structured process to ensure an enjoyable experience for your attendees. So, in this Event Management 101 video with Google Sheets, I break down event planning and take you through my method step-by-step!

No matter what type of event you're planning, there are many constants: attendees, registration or invitation process, speakers and agenda, marketing materials, and communication channels. Literally every event in the world has these things in some shape or form.

I like to break down event planning into different buckets: Pre-event, during-event, and post-event. This allows me to structure my thoughts whether I'm planning a wedding, a birthday party, or a team offsite.

While the concepts in this Youtube video is more than enough for most people, if you're a professional who frequently comes into contact with events at work, or an aspiring marketer, the full introduction to event management Skillshare course will be very useful!

So you're an angel who parties like a gangster at high end clubs but you're a peasant. You need Event Management just to keep up with your many roles... To be serious, though, I loved the video. Thanks Jeff!

Just discovered your channel, auto subscribe, love your personality and quality of your content. Keep it up 👌

[ushnishchakravarty]

Heyy Jeff, this video was absolutely nice!! The way of keeping a track of things has been exceptional from your end. I have a slight problem here. Since I m a 3rd year bachelor's student learning computer science, we aren't familiarised with this event management concepts nor we have any prior experience. Hence it looks totally new to us. It would have been better if you could explain a bit more deep to the freshers who are learning or those people who have taken a turn towards Event Management.
Frankly speaking, these things really went like bouncers on the top of my head. I hope you understand!!
Thanks and have a good day!!! Cheers!!!

[AndreaBeltran]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The template is beautiful and has a lot of great formatting and formulas I didn't even know you could use like the "Days until event" - genius!
