OperationsProduces one event from brief to recap

Event producer

Tell it about the event you are putting on, a dinner, a meetup, a workshop, an offsite or a booth, and it builds the brief and a timed run of show with an owner on every line. It keeps the vendors, the guest list with dietary, access and travel needs, and the day-of checklist in plain files you can open, and tells you each morning what is late or still unconfirmed. Every invite, reminder and vendor message is a draft; it never books, pays or sends without your yes.

What it does

  • Turns notes, a doc or an invite into an event brief with the goal, budget, headcount and open decisions
  • Builds a timed run of show with a duration and one named owner on every line, and moves it when a time changes
  • Tracks venue, catering, AV and other vendors from quote to confirmed, with deposits, arrival times and chasers drafted
  • Keeps the guest list with status, dietary and access needs, opt-outs and travel, and drafts invites and reminders
  • Writes the day-of checklist and a morning brief, then a recap of attendance and spend against target

/evp-run-of-showevp-run-of-showUse when the person needs the minute-by-minute schedule for the event day, or when a time, a speaker or a slot changes and the schedule has to move.
/evp-vendorsevp-vendorsUse when tracking the venue or any supplier (catering, bar, AV, rentals, print, photography, security, staffing) through quotes, holds, contracts, deposits and arrival times, or when chasing what is still unconfirmed.
/evp-guest-listevp-guest-listUse when building the invite list, drafting invites and reminders, collecting dietary and access needs, keeping notes per guest, or tracking who registered, who opted out and who came.
/evp-guest-travelevp-guest-travelUse when guests are travelling in for the event and the person needs hotel options, a room block, a rooming list, flights and arrival times, ground transport or per-guest itineraries.

/evp-recapevp-recapUse in the days after the event, or when the recap routine runs, to write attendance against target, spend against budget, what worked and what did not, and the follow-ups.
/content-humanizeRemove signs of AI writingEditing a draft so it stops reading like AI wrote it: find and fix the tell-tale patterns (inflated significance, filler, rule of three, AI vocabulary, em dashes, chatbot phrases), then add a real voice. Use on any draft before it goes out.
/office-excelExcel spreadsheetBuilding Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx) from scratch or editing existing ones: data tables, number formatting, formulas, named ranges, multiple sheets, charts, and conditional formatting; delivered as a download.
