# Top tools for managing event logistics?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Event logistics are always the messy part — coordinating venues, vendors, schedules, AV, catering, staff, and a hundred moving pieces. I’ve been digging into <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/event-planning">platforms</a> that actually help manage logistics end-to-end instead of just tracking tasks in a spreadsheet.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">From G2’s grid, here are some of the top options:</p><ul>

</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Other platforms I see mentioned a lot in event planning circles are Bizzabo, Eventbrite, and Smartsheet. For those of you managing events, which tools actually help tame the logistics chaos vs. just giving you another dashboard to update?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Curious for folks who’ve done this at scale, what’s the hardest part of logistics to keep under control? Vendors, venues, or staff coordination? Feels like every event I’ve been on, one of those three ends up being the bottleneck no matter what tool we use.&lt;/p&gt;
