Creating a marketing event is like building city hall. Some of us are great at bones of the building. Others master the visual design, or installation, or contracts. And then there are the folks who promote and run the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Forget any of the big factors, the whole plan could fall apart. With all the minds at work and details to track, you need a killer planning tool. To ease your planning process—and boost the success of your event—we’ve created the Banzai Event Toolkit, an interactive tracker with templates for every major event component. This staple organizational tool includes tabs that will help you:

Set and track goals

Know your goals. Write them down. Meet them. Simple as that. Well, not exactly—but we give you the big preliminary questions to guide goal-setting, like: What is your unique selling point? Once you’ve set your goals, use the tracker to monitor progress.

Build and monitor a budget

Yeah, an event budget is a big deal. But don’t let it be the bane of your professional existence. Handle your budget masterfully by getting every consideration and detail down on one page. Our tool gives full, live visibility to the state of your budget at every stage of the game.

Manage logistics

Where’s your event taking place? When? What’s your registration goal? Pretty fundamental stuff. Having the bare-bone logistic details is one place is crucial to hosting a great event. Keep track of them here so everyone has access to the basic info.
