MVP 1 / Speaker Prep
In build Opening summer / autumn 2026

Speakers prep in plain text. The showflow builds itself in the background.

No cue sheets, no forms. A speaker writes how their session runs in normal language — and EventBlok turns it into a structured, editable showflow as they type. Don't prep? The analyzer builds one anyway.

The showflow is usually the producer's problem — pieced together from emails, slide decks and a phone call the night before. Speaker Prep flips that: the people who know the session best build the running order just by describing it.

A speaker opens their session and writes in plain English — "open on the title slide, run the demo around six minutes in, take questions at the end with the lights up." As they write, EventBlok's analyzer turns that prose into cues: walk-on, VT roll, lower-thirds, holds, Q&A — each tagged to the right department and slotted into the showflow.

It's not a form they have to learn. It's the note they'd have scribbled anyway — except this one becomes the running order your crew calls from.

How it works

From blank page to a show-ready plan.

  1. 01

    Speaker gets a prep link

    Each speaker opens their own session — no login ceremony, no template to decode.

  2. 02

    They write in plain text

    How the session runs, in normal language. Slides, a video, a demo, when to take questions.

  3. 03

    The analyzer builds cues

    EventBlok reads the prose and proposes a structured showflow — cues, owners, timings — live as they type.

  4. 04

    Producer reviews & calls it

    You refine the auto-built cues and run them. The speaker's intent and the crew's runsheet are finally the same thing.

What it does

Prep that quietly becomes production-ready.

The speaker writes notes; you get a showflow. Even when they write nothing.

Prose → cues

Plain-text prep is analyzed into structured cues with departments and timings.

Builds in the background

No "generate" button — the showflow assembles itself as the speaker writes.

No prep? No problem

If a speaker doesn't prep, the analyzer + AI still build a baseline showflow per speaker, per session.

Per speaker, per session

Every session gets its own running order, owned by the right people.

Always editable

Auto-built cues are a draft. The producer edits, reorders and approves before show day.

Speakers stay in their lane

They describe their session; they never touch your master showflow or other sessions.

The quiet revolution

The running order writes itself from the words speakers already use.

Producers spend hours translating "I'll do a demo after the intro" into LX, A/V and GFX cues. Speaker Prep does that translation the moment the sentence is written — so the showflow is 80% built before you ever open it.

And because it's tied to the agenda and the session, every cue already knows which speaker, which room and what time it belongs to.

  • Plain-text prep analyzed into departmental cues, live
  • Cues linked to the session, speaker, room and time
  • Producer keeps full editorial control of the final call
Even with zero prep

A baseline showflow for every session — guaranteed.

Speakers are busy; some will never open the prep link. That's fine. The analyzer builds a sensible default showflow per session from what it already knows — title, format, duration, slides — so no session ever hits show day without a running order.

You start from a draft, not a blank cue sheet — for all of them.

  • AI builds baseline cues from session metadata
  • No session left without a showflow on the day
  • Upgrades automatically if the speaker preps later
Why it matters

The first time prep and production aren't two separate jobs.

Speaker Prep collapses the gap between what a speaker intends and what the crew calls.

01

Intent becomes cues

The person who knows the session writes it; the system turns that into the running order — no lossy hand-off.

02

Background, not busywork

There's no extra tool for speakers to learn. They write a note; the showflow is a by-product.

03

Resilient by default

Prep is a bonus, not a dependency. The analyzer guarantees a baseline showflow with or without it.

04

One source, again

Speaker prep, agenda and showflow are the same record — so a change anywhere is a change everywhere.
