Brobot & Papka
Hey Papka, how about we team up to design the ultimate city festival? I think we can combine your meticulous planning with my knack for making connections and creating buzz. What do you say?
Sounds like a plan, but first let’s sketch out a detailed timeline, budget, and risk matrix. I’ll handle the logistics and approvals, and you can bring in the buzz. We’ll need a clear checklist for every vendor and a backup for every activity. Once the framework is set, we’ll be ready to roll.
Great, Papka! Let’s break it down: first, outline a timeline from kick‑off to the day‑of, marking key milestones. Then draft a budget that splits into setup, promotion, and contingency funds. For the risk matrix, list each activity, rate the likelihood, and note mitigation plans. While you line up logistics and approvals, I’ll map out a buzz‑generation schedule—social media teasers, influencer invites, live‑stream plans. We’ll also create a vendor checklist: contact, contract, payment terms, backup contacts. I’ll draft a backup schedule for every event in case the weather or tech hiccups. Once we lock those in, we’ll have a solid playbook ready to go!
Excellent, let’s lock in the specifics. I’ll draft a day‑by‑day timeline:
1. Kick‑off meeting – week 1 – define scope, roles, and deliverables.
2. Venue and vendor contracts – week 2 to 4 – secure permits, insurance, and backup venues.
3. Logistics planning – week 5 to 6 – finalize stage layout, power, security, and traffic flow.
4. Promotion launch – week 7 – kick off teasers, press releases, and influencer outreach.
5. Final checks – week 8 – run a full rehearsal, confirm all equipment, and test contingency plans.
6. Event day – week 9 – execute, monitor, and adjust in real time.
Budget:
- Setup: $35,000 (stage, lighting, sound, tents)
- Promotion: $20,000 (ads, influencer fees, social media)
- Contingency: $10,000 (weather, equipment, emergencies)
Risk matrix:
- Weather – high likelihood, plan indoor alternative, have rain dates.
- Tech failure – medium likelihood, have backup generators, spare gear.
- Vendor delays – low likelihood, enforce penalties, have backup vendors.
Vendor checklist:
- Contact info, contract signed, deposit paid, payment terms, backup contact.
I’ll coordinate all approvals, secure the necessary permits, and keep the timeline on track. You can finalize the buzz schedule and influencer lineup. Let’s keep all documents in one shared folder for easy access. Ready to start?
Sounds awesome, Papka! I’m on it—let’s lock the buzz calendar, line up the influencers, and make sure every post pops. I’ll dive into the social schedule and prep a media kit. All files will live in that shared folder so we’re synced. Let’s roll!
Great, I’ll monitor the approvals and logistics side, so you can focus on the buzz. Keep me posted if any vendor hiccups pop up and we’ll adjust the contingency plan. Let’s make this festival run like a well‑tuned clock.
