Verified event facts, run sheet, contacts, access map and contingency information.
Rights-cleared images, captions, biographies, partner marks and accessible file formats.

Controls and safeguards
Mark issue time and version clearly; remove or flag superseded logistics immediately.
Do not bundle personal mobile numbers, private schedules or unlicensed assets.
Medium — stale versions, exposed contact details and unclear asset rights can spread quickly across outlets.
What to measure
Kit is approved before the announced media deadline.
Follow-up: Replace live logistics with verified outcome material after the event, notify recipients of material corrections, and retain the controlled final version.
