Finalise the Running Order

After the rehearsal you can now finalise the running order. If you are using something like OneNote or Word then you can prepare a master list for lots of events and then customise it as necessary. It is often useful to have additional notes which you can put in for speakers to remind them what to do on the day.

Sample Running Order

As you can see this sets up a rhythm for the event so everyone knows what they are doing. There can be a lot more detail, but if you can manage a single page then that makes things easy.
