Event project management involves planning, organising, and coordinating all aspects of an event, such as a conference, workshop, or party. The key steps in managing an event include:
Defining the event’s goals and objectives: Determine what you want to achieve with the event and how it will benefit attendees and stakeholders.
Creating an event project plan: Develop a detailed plan that outlines the tasks and milestones required to execute the event, as well as the resources (people, budget, equipment) needed to achieve them.
Identifying and recruiting a team: Assemble a team of people with the necessary skills and experience to execute the event, such as planners, marketers, and logistics experts.
Securing a venue: Find a suitable location for the event, taking into account factors such as capacity, accessibility, and cost.

Promoting the event: Develop a marketing and communications plan to promote the event and attract attendees.
Managing the event on-site: Coordinate the setup and execution of the event, including registration, logistics, and on-site management.
Evaluating the event: After the event, assess the success of the event and gather feedback from attendees and stakeholders.
It is important to be flexible, prioritise and keep open communication with the team and stakeholders. Also there are some tools that can help on project management and organization like Trello, Asana or even Excel Sheets
