Live Events And Cultural Organizations

IMC Machine Production Operations hub for live event planning
Live Events OpsThe operations hub tracks the active event, worksheet progress, and production actions across planning, house, front-of-house, and strike.Click to enlarge.

You run a venue, a theater, a gallery, a festival, a presenting series, a touring artist, a record label. The IMC Machine reads the work of the cultural sector as one continuous operation: the event record holds the show, the campaign holds the marketing, the run of show holds the night, and the wrap holds the year. The Creative Campaign Studio and Live Events Ops share one canonical record.

01 A Day In The Room

Tuesday, 10:30 AM. A Cultural-Sector Operations Director Looking At The Quarter.

You oversee programming and operations for a multi-disciplinary arts organization. The next quarter holds eighteen events across three venues, four touring shows, two gallery openings, and a fundraiser. You open the season record. Every event holds its production posture, its marketing window, its press list, its donor cultivation moment, and its post-event wrap. The Creative Campaign Studio writes the announce. The Production Hub holds the advance per event. By Friday the quarter is scheduled across every channel and every department knows the plan.
