Don't know how much time you have until the event but here are a few things you might want to try.

Your DDs are looking good for easy difficulty here. You could even try E-1 medium or hard depending on the branching and ship requirements. Your work here starts after the event is over and if you want to complete future events in higher difficulties. In that case you should level 8+ DDs to level 60+ as well as some backup DDs to 50+. You don't want to do Combined Transport Fleet maps with low level DDs.

As for CLs train Naka to K2 as a backup for Sendai. That shouldn't take too long.

Kitakami proved to be really useful in E-4/5 last event while CLTs were almost completely shut out in the Summer event. It's a gamble to train her to K2 but if you are allowed to sortie her to key maps having her at K2 will make things easier there.

If you have a bleuprint ready for Tone train her to K2. If not settle with lvl. 50-ish and bring Suzuya to around the same level as she has to do the job of your branching CAV in that case. Also Ashigara might be useful for branching and you might want to bring her to lvl ~40 with pvp before the event or even train her to K2 if possible.

For the future train your CAs up properly. I made the same mistake and started my first event with only 2 leveled CAs which made things harder than they would have needed to be. Also train Maya and at least one more Myoukou-class to K2 after the event is over.

Your BBs are looking good so far. It should be enough to train Hiei to K2 but if you have time you can also train Ise (branching?) to lvl 50 and Nagato to lvl 60.

A Combined Carrier Fleet can have up to 4 CVs. With 3 leveled CVs and 3 somewhat leveled CVLs that should be enough. To be on the save side here you can train either one of Hiryuu or Souryuu as well as Hiyou and Junyou to level 50.

Except for that look that your Key ships have at least their Firepower, Torpedo and Armour stat fully modernized. Haguro should be your priority here. Suzuya, Hiei and Naka should be modernized after their remoddel to Kai or K2.

As said above you need more Type 3 and Type 91 shells. 4 to 6 would be great but having 3 should be sufficient for the upcomming event.

Also try to complete the weekly scrapping quest to get 2 or 3 more drums before the event starts. Having to empty a green resource gauge with a Combined Transport Fleet can eat through your buckets if you have to run her often because you don't have many drums.
