One running order. The one that is actually true.
Cues, timings, notes and departments — linked to the agenda and shared live, so the crew stops working from last Tuesday's printout.
The run of show is the show. And yet on most events it is a spreadsheet with a version number, printed at 6am and wrong by 9. EventBlok's showflow is built from the agenda itself: every cue, note and media requirement hangs off a real session.
Change the running order and everyone is looking at the change — lighting, sound, video, graphics, stage management, each filtered to their own lane. Read-only crew views mean the whole team sees the truth without anyone accidentally rewriting it.
During the show, authorised users adjust timings, move sessions, cancel breaks or change rooms, and the downstream cues recompute. When the keynote runs seven minutes over, you adjust once — not over comms, twice on paper, and once in a panic.
From agenda to called show.
- 01
Start from the agenda
Sessions arrive already timed. The showflow is a view of the same event, not a copy of it.
- 02
Add the production layer
Cues, technical notes, media requirements, department owners — VT rolls, walk-ons, lower-thirds, holds.
- 03
Give each department its lane
FOH, LX, A/V, GFX filters. Read-only where it should be. Everyone sees their cues in context.
- 04
Run the day live
Move sessions, cut a break, hold a cue. One version, updated for everyone at once — phones included.
Planning clarity for producers. Calling clarity for crews.
One event record, built to remove the hand-offs, re-keying and version drift between the plan and the live run.
Cue-level running order
Cue numbers, owners, standby / go states and hard stops — designed to be read at speed in the booth.
Linked to the agenda
Every cue knows its session. Move the session and the cues, times and downstream slots move with it.
Department lanes
Tag cues to FOH, LX, A/V or GFX so each crew focuses on their lane without losing the sequence around it.
Live timing adjustments
Overruns, holds and reorders recompute the times that depend on them — while the show is running.
Cues drafted from the deck
The PowerPoint analyzer finds videos, polls and Q&A in speaker decks and drafts them as cues for your review.
Video end-modes on cues
Ends on a still or a hard cut, last words captured — so the next cue is standing by, not guessing.
A showflow designed to be read under pressure, not admired in a meeting.
The show-caller gets a live operational view: running time, current cue, upcoming action and clear standby / go states across departments. Because it is connected to the agenda, every cue already knows which session it belongs to and when that session is due.
Import an existing production spreadsheet and EventBlok lifts the running order out of it — cues and all — reviewed by you before anything is applied.
- ✓Cue numbers, owners and timings for fast reading
- ✓Standby / go and hard-stop markers across the team
- ✓Showflow import from your existing spreadsheet
Built around how live events actually move.
The details that matter on the floor are in from the first release, not bolted onto a calendar afterwards.
One source of truth
Agenda and showflow are views of the same data. No separate publish step waiting to drift out of sync.
Time treated seriously
Durations, gaps, overruns and hard stops are modelled, so a change shows its consequences before they land in the room.
Made for the booth
Monospace timecodes, cue counters and a live current-cue marker — the readout show-callers expect.
Phones side-stage
Crew check their lane from a phone in the wings. Read-only means read-only.
The rest of the first release.
Built by a producer, for the five teams who get it first.
I've produced live streams and global conferences for twenty years — Royal College of Art, JATO, Symantec, Digital Science, GE Healthcare, HPE — since the days streams ran on Flash servers. EventBlok is everything those years taught me, built into one tool. Five founding teams run their real events on it, tell me where it hurts, and lock lifetime 50% off. Direct line to me, no sales layer.
