# Get Cracking Before You Begin

> Before you start planning your event, make sure your board is genuinely on board. Five things to keep in mind when pitching an event to leadership.

Never make the mistake of thinking event planning is a solo endeavour\.

It takes a team of people working together to design, plan and implement an event worth attending\. And many of those teams are backed by boards, executives and other decision\-making powerhouses who will either make or break your event\.

It is critical to ensure you have their buy\-in before you dedicate your time to creating your fantastic event\.
