Planning an event looks simple until you're doing it. This live, two-hour masterclass walks you through how our team actually plans events — from the first budget conversation to the moment the last guest leaves — with the templates and checklists we use every day.

What you'll learn

• Budgeting — how to build a realistic budget and where events usually overspend
• Venues and vendors — what to ask before you sign, and how to compare quotes fairly
• Timelines — working backwards from the event day, and the deadlines that matter
• Run-of-show — writing a minute-by-minute plan your whole team can follow
• On the day — handling late suppliers, weather and the things nobody planned for

Who it's for

HR and admin teams who organise company events, new event planners, wedding planners growing their business, and anyone who has been handed "the office party" this year. No experience needed.

How it works

• Live on Zoom — the joining link arrives by email the day before
• Two hours, with a short break and plenty of time for questions
• A recording is shared with everyone who registers, for 30 days
• Plus ticket holders also get our planning toolkit: budget template, vendor checklist and run-of-show template
