Conferences and festivals break the assumptions that work for single evenings. Coverage has to hold across several days, people need real breaks, and the team that closes on day one is rarely the team that opens on day two.

Handovers are where multi-day events lose their consistency. Without a written plan, the second day starts from scratch.

This template maps shifts, call times, breaks and handovers across the run. Fill in your own dates and roles, and it will show you where the gaps are while there’s still time to fill them
