Describe your event in a few sentences. TadaPlan generates the complete plan: dated backward schedule, budget, registrations and a 3D seating chart. Magic up front, a real critical-path engine behind. FROM CLUB BARBECUE TO FESTIVAL Wedding, charity gala, tournament, general assembly, festival: describe the event, its date and its size — the AI proposes a plan of dozens of dated, dependency-aware tasks in about a minute. ASK TADAPLAN Ask a question about your event in plain language — "Am I on track?", "Add a tasting the day before" — and the AI answers, then acts directly on your plan. NEW: SEATING IN INTERACTIVE 3D Explore your room in interactive 3D: rotate the view, drag tables and guests, and let the solver seat everyone by your rules — "keep the Smiths together, Grandma away from the speakers". Impossible conflicts are flagged live. A REAL BACKWARD SCHEDULE, NOT A TO-DO LIST TadaPlan computes your event's critical path (CPM, calculated in code, never guessed): you instantly see which tasks drive the date, and the app flags risks in advance — "13 days short" — not the day after the disaster. EVENT DAY, MINUTE BY MINUTE The AI generates your run-of-show: every moment to the minute, cascading recalculation when a slot slips, locked anchors for the key highlights.
