It’s your planning space, your solution center, your backstage, your sanctuary. Whether it’s a daylong event or a weeklong one, your war room functions as a space for the team to come together, prep materials, solve problems, and relax. The space will reflect your team and their needs and the items in the room are the things that will get you through the week. We’ve put together the ultimate war room list that can be tailored to you and your staff’s needs and wants.

There is so much to think about when planning an event. One thing that can fall through the cracks is you. As the person in charge, the one running the show, you need to be in top form. Take the extra time to make sure you have everything you need to be the best planner you can be in. Whether that’s multiple pairs of shoes or an inspirational playlist to pump you up when you’re exhausted and in the last few hours of the event, identify what you need to run the best event ever.
