Getting Started

As a public relations professional, I've planned many events over the years, but haven't found a helpful workback in the wild. Given this, I've created my own.

For a tangible starting point, this template is for planning a media dinner at a local restaurant with a few spokespeople from your company, but you can adapt it for any event-planning needs. Customize tasks and tailor deadlines to stay on track.

How to use this doc

Once you have a date and location secured, copy this doc and enter the date at the top of the

Workback⁠

section.

Invite your fellow event planners to the doc, then assign them as owners in the Owner column of the

Event Planning⁠

table.

The

My Tasks⁠

section gives you a personal to-do list, which is a view of the main

Event Planning⁠

table.

With this doc, you can capture all

Meeting Notes⁠

and track RSVPs of

Invitees⁠

in the same doc to stay organized.

Happy planning!

P.S. If you want planning inspiration for a virtual event, check out Al’s

Virtual Event Planning Checklist⁠
