Event Planning Toolkit Resources

The following resources have largely been prepared by the team at Australian Centre for Regional Events. These templates, guidelines and checklists can help you develop a great foundation from which to further build on your event delivery processes and event experience.

These are generic templates to provide you with a starting point for your event management and delivery. Please change them as needed to meet your event’s specific requirements.

The Advertising Prospectus information is only intended as an option for organisations wishing to elevate their event promotion via additional paid channels.
