Events
Company offsite
An offsite needs rooms, transport, meals and an agenda settled for everyone, weeks before anyone leaves. This project holds the agenda and travel details, four planning lists, a board of session ideas, and photos of the venue and last year's offsite.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards, Chat
Charity gala planning
A charity gala needs sponsors, auction lots, volunteers and a venue, and all of them must be ready on one evening. Here the benefit is one project: sponsors on a board, four lists on the progress chart, venue and auction photos, and the dates on a calendar.
Tools: Docs & Files, Message Board, Boards, To-dos, Calendar
Wedding planning
A wedding planner books the venue, flowers, music and food around a couple's choices, often while the guest list is still changing. This project holds the vendor replies, photos of the table and the courtyard, four planning lists, the tasting and fittings, and chat with the couple.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Calendar, Chat
Design conference
A conference has fixed dates, and the talks, the workshops, the venue and the badges all have to be ready before the first morning. This project holds ticket and venue news, a board for workshop materials, four planning lists, the deadlines and photos of the venue.
Tools: Message Board, Boards, Docs & Files, To-dos, Calendar
Orchid show
An orchid show opens on a set morning, and every plant in it has to be in bloom, groomed and entered by then. This project holds the exhibits on a board, photos of the hall and of each entry, the set-up chat and four to-do lists.
Tools: Boards, Docs & Files, Message Board, To-dos, Chat
Band tour
A band on tour plays a new room every night, and each show's load-in, sound, lodging and pay must be agreed ahead. Here the tour is one project: every show on a board, the dates on a calendar, road and merch photos, and four to-do lists.
Tools: Message Board, Calendar, Docs & Files, Boards, To-dos
Florist wedding bookings
A flower farm that does weddings books each date months ahead, then designs around whatever the field has in bloom that week. This project holds every wedding on a board from inquiry to delivery, photos of the field and finished work, the to-do lists and the wedding calendar.
Tools: Message Board, Boards, Docs & Files, To-dos, Calendar
Retreat planning
A retreat must sell enough places to pay for the venue, the cook and the teachers, often while its program is still being planned. This project holds the lodge, program, registration and kitchen lists, photos of the lodge, the deadlines and the team's answers to a weekly question.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Calendar, Chat, Check-ins
Marathon planning
A marathon needs a measured course, road closures, aid stations and hundreds of volunteers, each with its own deadline before race morning. This project holds course and test run photos, every road closure on a board, four lists on the progress chart and the race team's chat.
Tools: Docs & Files, To-dos, Boards, Message Board, Chat
Outdoor theater production
An outdoor show has rehearsals, costumes and lights to finish, and its site has to pass inspection before the first audience arrives. This project holds rehearsal, wardrobe and venue photos, lists for the site, music, costumes and front of house, and the dates to opening night.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Calendar
Food festival management
A street food festival needs every vendor permitted, every booth placed and every volunteer shift filled before the street closes. This project holds photos of the vendor tasting, the volunteers' tamale-making day and last year's festival, four to-do lists and both festival days on the calendar.
