Pull something off the shelf. I write most weeks about the parts of an event nobody sees.

The event day briefing your team actually needs
The document your team reads over coffee the morning of decides how much of the day comes back to you. This post covers what has to be in it so that nobody needs to find you between sessions.
What event day feels like when your team has the full picture
Your team can only run the day without you if the document in front of them answers what they'll actually need. This post covers what has to be in it, what usually gets left out, and how it changes event day.
The brief that lets your retreat team decide without you
A good brief tells your team what to do. A better one tells them enough to make the call themselves when you're mid-session and unreachable. This post covers the difference and what has to be in the second kind.
It's eleven at night on event day and the bed is right there. Ten minutes of notes now saves an hour of trying to remember next week, and gets you better answers. These are the event evaluation questions worth answering each night, before the details fade.
