Frequently Asked Questions

What is an event run sheet?+

The minute-by-minute document for event day: every segment with its start time, duration, calculated end time, and owner. It's the document the whole team follows during the event β€” the detailed version of the run of show.

Who should be listed as owner?+

One named person per segment β€” the MC, stage manager, catering lead, ops crew. If there's no name, nobody owns it, and that's where delays are born.

Should I build in buffer time?+

Yes. Add 5–10 minutes between major blocks (meals, keynotes, stage changes) and keep an explicit 'contingency' segment. Run sheets without buffers derail at the first long-winded speech.

Is the run sheet generator free?+

Yes β€” completely free, no account or email required, with gala, conference, and community fair templates. Built for Canadian event organizers by SponsorMatch.ca.
