AI in Event Production: Saving 60% of Setup Time

How AI is transforming event production — from cutting prep time in half to giving producers instant clarity on complex shows.

The live event world runs on details: schedules, room setups, cue sheets, crew lists, and vendor manifests. Managing them manually takes hours, and a single mistake can ripple through an entire show. That’s why AVent Connect integrated artificial intelligence directly into the heart of event management.

From Paperwork to Performance

In traditional workflows, project managers spend days copying data from production decks, updating spreadsheets, and coordinating departments. AVent Connect’s AI document processing automates this. Upload your event book, crew list, or show deck, and the system automatically extracts key details — dates, roles, room assignments, vendor names, and more.

“What used to take six hours of manual entry now takes ten minutes and a single upload.”

Smarter Planning, Fewer Errors

Every extracted item includes a confidence score, letting production managers review and approve data before it goes live. The result: less data entry, fewer errors, and cleaner collaboration. Once approved, the information instantly populates project timelines, operator dashboards, and logistics modules.

  • AI parses and organizes complex event documents automatically
  • PMs can review and approve data with one click
  • All departments see updates in real time
  • System learns from feedback to improve accuracy over time

Built for Real Production Scenarios

AVent Connect’s AI isn’t a generic language model tacked onto an app — it’s trained on real event documentation and structured around industry standards. It understands terms like “show caller,” “LD,” and “RF coordination.” That domain-specific design makes it uniquely effective for production teams.


# Example: AI extraction workflow

→ analyzeDocument()
→ updateProject( crew, schedule, rooms )
→ notifyTeam("Pre-production data ready")

The Human + AI Partnership

The goal isn’t to replace production managers — it’s to give them more time to focus on creative and strategic decisions. The AI handles repetitive work, while humans oversee accuracy and adapt workflows to each show’s unique requirements.
