How to create and manage your Conference planning checklist in the Gantt chart?

Manage resources and estimate project costs

Create a new project or use the ready-made event template

Conference planning checklist consists of typical ready-made tasks. This template gives you a pre-defined structure of your event.

You can easily import and export Excel files to work with your tasks online, manage dates, track progress, and estimate event budget.

Create new or use ready-made tasks

You can use ready-made typical tasks or create new ones, as many as you need, defining start and end dates for them and making your project visually appealing in minutes. Make a hierarchy of your assignments - simply turn them into groups adding subtasks.

Add milestones and dependencies

Besides tasks, the event template includes milestones - significant events that show how your project is developing. Create them where needed and be sure you are moving towards your goals.

With the ease of drag & drop function, connect your responsibilities and milestones with dependencies. The auto-scheduling function will automatically adjust your Conference planning checklist if you change dates of dependent tasks in your timeline.

Track progress

Track the progress of each duty and the entire Conference planning checklist. The software will automatically calculate how much work is completed and how much is left based on the progress values you set for your tasks.
