CROFTON, Md. - Marylandian -- Somewhere right now, an office manager is planning the holiday party, a ministry leader is herding volunteers for the women's conference, and a teacher is wondering how the fundraiser became her problem. Impact Events, the event planning platform for people who never applied to be event planners, today launched a fresh new look and its Event Efficiency Dashboard to rescue them.

The dashboard, live since October 12, shows planners at a glance what's done, what's next, and what's about to go sideways. No more scrolling through 147 group-text messages to find out who's bringing the folding tables.

"I planned trainings and conferences as 'other duties as assigned' for nearly 20 years, armed with nothing but spreadsheets and a prayer," said Kandice Whitaker Baldwin, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Impact Events. "Canva made everyone a designer. We want Impact Events to make everyone the person who has it all together, even if they're secretly eating lunch in their car."

The dashboard joins a lineup built for real life:

• Artificial intelligence (AI) planning assistance that remembers the details, so you don't have to write them on your hand.
• Text message (SMS) updates that reach people on the phones they actually check, unlike that email from three weeks ago.
• Run of Show, a minute-by-minute event-day schedule that fills itself in as you plan. Type it once, done.
• A Lessons Learned tracker, so next year's event doesn't repeat this year's "incident with the chafing dishes."

Impact Events plans start at $20.99 per user per month, with an Executive plan for organizations with five or more users. New users get a free 14-day trial, and early adopters lock in 50% off for life.
