Event run of show

@eventcrew/event-run-of-show

Turn an event agenda into a minute-by-minute run of show: every segment with its owner, cues for AV and stage, room changes, buffers, and a plan B for the things that usually go wrong. Works for conferences, customer dinners, launches, webinars, and offsites.

  3. 3description: Build a minute-by-minute run of show from an agenda, with owners, AV and stage cues, transitions, buffers, a crew call sheet, and contingency plans. Use when the user says "make a run of show", "run sheet", "show flow", "minute by minute for the event", "who does what on the day", or shares an agenda for a conference, customer dinner, launch event, webinar, workshop, or offsite.

  9. 9An agenda says what happens. A run of show says who makes it happen, at what minute, and what to do when the speaker is late. This kit turns the first into the second.
  10. 10
  11. 11## When to use
  12. 12
  13. 13- One to two weeks before any event with more than one segment or more than two people running it.
  14. 14- "Make a run of show for the customer dinner", "minute by minute for launch day", "who cues the video?"
  15. 15- Also for virtual events: webinar producer cues (go live, slides, polls, Q&A) work the same way.
  16. 16
  17. 17## Inputs
  18. 18
  19. 19Ask for what is missing, in one message, and offer defaults:
  20. 20
  21. 211. **Event basics:** name, date, venue or platform, doors time, end time, expected headcount.
  22. 222. **Agenda:** segments in order with rough lengths. A pasted list is fine.
  23. 233. **People:** host or MC, speakers, and crew roles (producer, AV, stage manager, registration, catering contact). Names or roles only.
  24. 244. **AV and room:** mics (handheld, lav), slides from one laptop or several, videos, music, recording or livestream.
  25. 255. **Hard constraints:** venue out time, catering service times, a speaker's flight.
  26. 26
  27. 27Save the result to `events/<event-slug>/run-of-show.md`. If the user keeps notes there already, read them first.
  28. 28
  29. 29## Steps
  30. 30
  31. 311. **Fix the anchors.** Doors, start, meal service, and venue out time cannot move. Place them first.
  32. 322. **Lay out segments** in clock time. Defaults when lengths are unknown: welcome 5 min, keynote 20 to 30, panel 30 to 40, customer talk 15, break 15, meal service 45 to 60 for a seated dinner.
  33. 333. **Add transitions.** Every speaker change gets 2 minutes (walk-up, mic swap, slide switch). Every room change gets 10. Add a 5 to 10 minute buffer before any hard stop.
  34. 344. **Write cues** for each row: what AV, stage, and host do at that moment (walk-in music down, lights, mic 2 live, slides to deck B, video roll, cue applause, Q&A mic out).
  35. 355. **Build the crew call sheet:** call times (crew 2 hours before doors, speakers 45 minutes before their slot, tech check 90 minutes before doors), who to call for what, where the green room is.
  36. 366. **Plan B for the usual failures:** speaker late or missing, slides will not load, mic dies, running long (which segment gets cut first), fire alarm or evacuation point, livestream drops. One line each, with an owner.
  37. 377. **Check the math.** Segments plus transitions must end before the hard stop. If they do not, say how much over and suggest what to trim, before writing the file.
  38. 388. **Write the file** in the format below and show the timeline summary in chat.

  57. 57## Plan B
  58. 58- Speaker late: host moves Q&A earlier. Owner: producer.
  59. 59- Running long: cut the second toast first.
  60. 60
  61. 61## Day-of checklist
  62. 62- [ ] Clicker batteries, spare HDMI and USB-C adapters
  63. 63```
  64. 64
  65. 65## Guardrails
  66. 66
  67. 67- Never put personal phone numbers in the file unless the user gives them for this purpose. Use "on the crew channel" as the default.
  68. 68- Do not invent speakers, sponsors, or venue details. Leave `<TBD>` and list open questions at the end.
  69. 69- Flag any segment with no owner. A row with no owner is how things get missed.
  70. 70- Keep times in the venue's local time zone and say which zone at the top.
