Event crew and production coordination

Event Crew Scheduling Software & Work Lists

Coordinate event crews, assign saved setup and handoff work to each job, and track each list separately. Include temporary helpers without requiring accounts.

Start with the next job and the people doing it. Plan the visit, hand out the work, and keep each assignment’s progress visible.

Create your workspace and start with one job.

One plan for the visit and the work

Give the crew more than a date on the calendar.

See who is going to each job, give them a work list, and follow its progress through the handoff.

01

Schedule people across jobs

Book named crews or individuals in a weekly planner. Review warnings when someone is booked on overlapping visits.

02

Hand out saved work

Choose a reusable template and assign independent work lists to different jobs and crews. Each list has its own people and progress.

03

Include people without accounts

Add everyone to the roster by name. Email a personal work-list link when someone needs to complete assigned work without signing up.

Start with the work you already have

Example board: Friday venue setup

Add the next few tasks, give them an owner, and keep the details beside the work. You can add more as the job moves forward.

Built for show day

Preparation, vendor holds, show-day actions, and strike in one run of show

Event production workspaces emphasize call times, venue areas, vendors or cues, ownership, and the handoffs that become urgent as doors approach.

Run-of-show home

Group overdue prep, upcoming work, show day / strike, and vendor holds.

Event context

Keep venue, call time, cue, duration, and owner attached.

Fast event-day capture

Add the next action immediately and fill in context afterward.

Keep Each Event, Venue, or Client Separate

Event details get chaotic when vendor reminders, setup notes, client requests, and day-of tasks all live in the same thread. Turnboards lets each event or venue have its own board.

  • Create a board for a wedding, fundraiser, conference, private party, venue setup, or client project.
  • Keep vendor follow-up separate from setup, rentals, signage, catering, and post-event tasks.
  • Open the board on event day and see only the items that matter for that event.

Build Checklists for Planning and Event Day

Turnboards works like a lightweight event checklist app. Add the small steps that keep planning on track, then update the list as vendors confirm and setup begins.

  • Track contracts, deposits, timelines, floor plans, rentals, signage, deliveries, and cleanup.
  • Add vendor questions, client requests, supply needs, and venue rules.
  • Break larger events into planning, setup, ceremony, reception, teardown, and follow-up tasks.
  • Keep future ideas separate from urgent event-week work.

Assign Tasks to Planners, Vendors, and Helpers

Events depend on lots of people doing small jobs at the right time. Turnboards makes ownership clearer.

  • Assign a board to the team running an event or venue setup.
  • Assign individual tasks to planners, coordinators, staff, helpers, or vendor representatives who have joined the Turnboards organization.
  • Let each person filter to their assigned work before setup or teardown.

Track Planned, Active, and Completed Event Work

Event plans change when vendors update timing, clients add details, weather shifts, or supplies arrive late. Turnboards keeps the task list simple with Backlog, Active, and Complete.

Put future work in Backlog, move event-week tasks into Active, and mark finished items Complete so everyone can see what still needs attention.

Keep Venue and Vendor Notes With Each Task

Some event tasks need context: a vendor contact, delivery window, venue rule, table count, client preference, or setup detail. Notes in Turnboards keep that information attached to the task.

  • Add notes for vendors, timelines, room layouts, supplies, deposits, and client approvals.
  • Record follow-up after site visits, planning calls, and event-day changes.
  • Keep practical details where the next person on the event team can find them.

Keep the master timeline and vendor records in an event platform

Turnboards does not manage guest lists, registration, seating, contracts, budgets, vendor portals, calendar automation, ticketing, or event-day messaging. It works best as a small team's shared next-action list.

Put the next job on a clear plan

Create your workspace, add the people you schedule, and start with one job. Reuse a work template when the next crew needs the same checks.
