The Event Lifecycle
Status | What it means | Your Next Step |
| You have created a meeting shell but haven't started an inquiry yet. | Begin building your event details (Dates, Guest Count, etc.). |
| Your inquiry is in a "Draft" state. You have details saved but haven't sent them to venues. | Finalize your venue shortlist and click Submit. |
| Your requests have been sent! The Bizly Concierge team is now working with venues to get you fast responses. | Monitor your inbox for "Proposal Received" notifications. |
| You have received proposals or rejections. It’s time to compare your options. | Use the Messages tab to ask questions or click Accept on your top choice. |
| You have accepted a proposal! The system is now waiting for the legal paperwork. | Route your contract for signatures and upload the PDF to Bizly. |
| The signed contract is uploaded. Your venue is officially secured. | Coordinate final event details directly with the venue Sales Manager. |
| The event has passed and you have uploaded the final invoice. | Review your final spend for reporting and budget reconciliation. |
