Start here
Get the
details right.
Start with what the event is for, who it's for and the proposed date. Work backward to list what needs to happen first. Keep confirmed details separate from things you're still checking. Before sharing an invitation, verify the time, location, access information, any cost and who people can contact. Keep those details in one shared place, and track where you've announced the event so you can update every version if something changes.
