Event Request Forms

Event request forms are structured documents used to submit, review, and manage requests to plan or host an event. They help organizers collect consistent details like event purpose, dates, location needs, audience size, budget, and required services so events can be approved and coordinated efficiently. Event request forms are commonly used by companies, schools, nonprofits, venues, and community organizations for internal events, workshops, trainings, celebrations, marketing events, and public programs. By standardizing event requests, these forms reduce back-and-forth, improve planning accuracy, and create a clear record of event requirements from the start.

With Jotform, event request forms can be created quickly using a no-code, drag-and-drop Form Builder and customized for different event types. Conditional logic can show different sections for in-person vs virtual events, and file upload fields can collect agendas, promotional assets, or vendor quotes. Submissions are stored in Jotform Tables so teams can track request status, prioritize events, and coordinate logistics. Automated notifications can route requests to the right approvers and keep requesters informed about next steps.
