Event planning for B2B trade show teams

Plan every deadline
around the event date.

Event Management Hub keeps event tasks tied to editable offsets from the show start or end, so timelines recalculate when event dates move.

Events

Organization-scoped shows with planning start, show start, and show end dates.

Offsets

Tasks store anchor and offset_days instead of absolute due dates.

Members

Assignment and review stay tied to organization members.

Why Event Management Hub

Built for recurring
event operations - nothing generic.

Event Management Hub is for B2B trade show organizers who need a focused event and task workflow before broader planning features.

Event workspaces

Create organization-scoped events with timezone, planning start, show start, and show end dates.

Relative deadlines

Store task timing as an anchor plus offset, not a fixed due date that goes stale.

Task status

Track work by status, assignee, reviewer, and blocked reason inside each event.

Member ownership

Assign and review tasks through organization members instead of detached user records.

Fast event list

Search across events and keep priority shows close when the team needs to switch context.

Automatic recalculation

When the event dates change, displayed task due dates update from the same offsets.

The problem

Event timelines
shift all the time.

The old way

Trade show teams often manage dates in spreadsheets, where each copied task date has to be fixed by hand when the event moves.

-Absolute dates drift away from the real show schedule
-Assignees and reviewers are hard to track by event
-Blocked tasks lose context between planning meetings
-Recurring events require the same timeline cleanup again

The new way

Work in Event Management Hub with event dates as the source of truth and tasks scheduled by anchor and offset.

+Store event_start or event_end plus editable offset_days
+Sort task lists by the calculated due date
+Recalculate displayed dates when event dates change
+Keep owners, reviewers, and blocked reasons on the task

Questions & answers

What is Event Management Hub?

Event Management Hub is a focused planning tool for B2B trade show organizers who manage recurring events and deadlines around event dates.

How are task due dates handled?

Tasks store an anchor, either event_start or event_end, plus editable offset_days. Displayed due dates are calculated from the event dates.

What happens if the event date changes?

The displayed due dates recalculate from each task's saved anchor and offset, so the team does not have to rewrite every task date manually.

Who is it for?

The first version is for internal trade show teams and trade-show-focused agencies planning organizer-side work.

Is this a generic project management tool?

No. V0.1 stays narrow: organization events, event task CRUD, relative timing, assignment, review, status, and blocked context.

Does it cover exhibitor CRM or logistics workflows?

Not in the initial scope. Exhibitor CRM, logistics/build workflows, templates, sessions, reminders, cloning, and integrations belong to later roadmap phases.

What should early feedback focus on?

Whether event organizers can model their real planning cadence with event dates, offsets, task owners, reviewers, statuses, and blocked reasons.
