# Event website maintenance calendar

Choose dates based on the event timeline and site risk. This is a working schedule, not a fixed universal weekly/monthly rule. Keep credentials and attendee data out of this file.

**Event / edition:** [ ]  **Event date and time zone:** [ ]  **On-sale date:** [ ]
**Calendar owner:** [ ]  **Critical-task backup owner:** [ ]  **Approved source of event facts:** [ ]

| Trigger or due date | Check and why it matters | Page / service | Owner / backup | Evidence and result | Fix owner / retest due | Next review |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Before ticket launch | Verify date, venue, price, checkout and confirmation | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Recurring: [interval chosen by team] | Follow key internal/external links; review facts and contact | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| After event fact or vendor change | Retest affected forms, email, embeds and links | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Before doors open | Check ticket status, arrival details and support route | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| Recovery exercise: [planned date] | Restore an isolated copy and record outcome | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
| After event | Update archival state and preserve handover notes | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] |

## Task record to copy

**Planned / completed date:** [ ]  **Owner / backup:** [ ]  **Source of truth:** [ ]
**Observed result / evidence URL:** [ ]  **Issue and severity:** [ ]
**Next action / owner / due time:** [ ]  **Retest result:** [ ]

Review the calendar whenever sales status, schedule, venue, ticket provider, staffing or site ownership changes. A quick keyboard check is useful but is not a complete accessibility audit. A backup is not proof of successful restoration.
