Using Trello to manage multiple events

Question

My team of 3 is managing 30+ unique events over a 4 month period of time.  Setting up each event as a board seems daunting... yet creating a card for each event doesn't seem efficient.  What are some best practices/tips for getting this initial set up in place?  Any links to sample set ups?

@Chelsea Bushnell have a look at this workflow for linking boards back to overview cards:

I also recently released an integration platform for Trello that automates using Google Apps Script:

You can see in this introductory getting started guide, a simple example of a workflow that automatically creates a board from a template and links it back to an overview card:

Hey Chelsea,

I found this one I hope it helps:

But if I we're you, i'll take these steps:

* Open Trello and create a appropriate board.
* Create a checklist.
* Create a list to house your new checklist and any additional cards you may require.
* Assign each member a task to follow on that check list.

Best regards.
