Where planning starts today

The date is fixed. Everything else still has to come together.

The event date is already on the calendar, but venue coordination, speakers, registration, production, and budget decisions all move on different tracks. Someone still has to turn that into one timeline the whole team can follow.

  • Event briefThe event must go live on the committed date.
  • Supplier emailsVenue, production, and service partners all confirm on different timelines.
  • Planning callsMarketing, operations, and programme leads depend on each other's milestones.
  • Budget sheetCosts are split across categories and revised as the event takes shape.

MileStack brings the event date, workstreams, responsibilities, and estimated costs into one plan your team can review and adjust.

A worked example

From event brief to reviewed delivery plan

The brief becomes a draft workback plan built around the fixed event date, with owners, dependencies, and estimated costs your team can review before execution starts.

  3. 3Your review

    The event lead checks the sequence, owners, and budget assumptions before the plan is shared more widely.

    • Dates and sequence

      Confirm the workback sequence from the event date and protect the key decision points.

    • Estimates

      Replace the draft cost assumptions with your own vendor and production figures.

    • Assignments

      Make sure each workstream has a clear owner before coordination begins.

When the work changes

A livestream is added after planning has started.

Describe the change to the AI Assistant inside the project. It proposes structured changes to the plan. A project manager reviews them and decides whether to accept and apply them.

  1. Someone describes what changed.
  2. The AI Assistant proposes adjustments to tasks, dates, assignments, and estimates.
  3. A project manager reviews the proposal, then accepts it or keeps the current plan.
Requested changeIllustrative example
“We now need a livestream for the keynote sessions, but the event date stays the same.”

Proposed adjustment

  • Add a livestream setup workstream before delivery, with a dedicated owner.
  • Update the run of show to include technical checks, stream cues, and handoffs.
  • Keep the fixed event date and reflect the extra production effort in the estimated costs.
