Visual Hive Training — AI Programme for Event Professionals

What makes this different

You bring the problem. The problem becomes the project.

Most training teaches tools and hopes you find a use for them later. This programme starts with the thing you actually need to fix. The task that eats your Tuesday afternoons. The report that takes three days every show cycle. The data you copy between four systems by hand.

That problem becomes your project. Your project becomes the curriculum. Everything you learn exists because your build needs it.

“When the thing you are building is the thing you need, there is no gap between learning and doing.”

Examples — things people have built

To give you an idea of what is possible.

EventHive is Visual Hive's free, open-source platform for event professionals. Every one of these tools was built using the same Claude-based workflow taught in this programme. They are here to show you what the methodology produces — your project will be your own. Hover over any card for more detail.

Run Sheet

Event day timed cue list

Timed cues with owners, status tracking, and auto-advance. Print-optimised for paper copies on show day. Used by stage managers and production teams.

Risk Assessment Wizard

Structured risk assessments from venue docs

Extracts data from venue PDFs and previous assessments, identifies risks needing safety measures, and drafts a structured assessment in your organisation's template.

Supplier Pipeline

Kanban tracker for supplier management

Visual pipeline for supplier conversations: enquiry, quoting, booked, delivered. Staleness alerts flag suppliers you haven't contacted in too long.

Lead Capture

On-site lead capture with scoring

Configurable capture form with BANT scoring: Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline. Filter leads by score, export to CRM. Works offline and syncs when back online.

Budget Tracker

Event budget with category breakdowns

Track planned versus actual spend across categories. Links to exhibitor data from the Exhibitor Manager. Dashboard view for quick budget health checks.

Briefing Generator

Auto-populated briefing documents

Pulls live data from Speaker Programme, Sponsor Deliverables, and Exhibitor Manager to generate professional briefing docs for clients, crew, and stakeholders.

Speaker Programme

Speaker management and scheduling

Speaker profiles, session scheduling, A/V requirements, and biography collection. Feeds directly into the Briefing Generator and Communications Timeline.

Sponsor Deliverables

Track what you owe your sponsors

Define sponsor packages, assign fulfilment tasks, track completion. Stops things falling through the cracks between sales and delivery.

Registration Manager

Attendee check-in and badges

Ticket types, attendee list import, QR check-in workflow, and badge printing. Full registration lifecycle from setup through on-the-day check-in.

Comms Timeline

Stakeholder communications schedule

Timeline of all communications to every stakeholder group. Pulls speaker and sponsor data from shared tools so nothing goes to the wrong people at the wrong time.

Built with the same methodology. All 24 tools are live, open source, and free at eventhive.tools.

Ideas — the kinds of things participants build

Not a fixed curriculum. Just a sense of what people bring.

These are examples of the kinds of personal solutions participants have built or are building. Your project will be whatever problem you bring. These are here to spark ideas, not set expectations. Hover over any card for more detail.

Monday Morning Briefing

Your week, summarised before you sit down

A scheduled task checks your pipeline, calendar, and inbox every Monday at 8am. By the time you open your laptop, a summary of what moved, what is overdue, and what needs your attention is waiting.

Exhibitor Research + Outreach

Bulk research and personalised emails

Give Claude a list of exhibitors. It researches each one, cross-references your event's audience, and drafts a personalised outreach email for each. Saved as Gmail drafts for you to review and send.

Post-Show Report Drafter

From raw exports to narrative draft

Upload your registration data, survey results, and session attendance. Claude structures the data and drafts the narrative sections. Days of manual assembly, gone.

Speaker Coordination

Pull context, draft comms, track status

Claude checks your speaker spreadsheet, identifies who still owes you a biography or A/V requirements, and drafts follow-up emails with the right context for each person.

Competitor Intelligence Scan

Scheduled weekly research on autopilot

A recurring task scans competitor websites and news for changes: new speakers, pricing shifts, sponsor announcements. Delivered as a weekly digest without manual trawling.

Meeting Prep Brief

Everything you need before every call

Before a sales call, Claude looks up the contact, pulls relevant notes from your Drive, scans their recent news, and gives you a one-page brief. Ready in minutes.

Sponsor Proposal Writer

Tailored proposals from your event data

Feed Claude your event's audience profile and the prospect's website. It drafts a tailored value narrative for each sponsorship tier, specific to that prospect's goals.

Risk Assessment Drafter

From venue PDFs to structured first draft

Upload the venue's risk documentation and your template. Claude reads both, identifies the risks needing safety measures, and drafts the assessment in your format.

Content from Event Data

Blog posts, social updates, email campaigns

Claude uses your event knowledge, speaker topics, and audience interests to draft content — consistent with your tone because you taught it how via a skill.

CRM Hygiene Checker

Find the gaps before they cost you

A scheduled task scans your pipeline for stale deals, missing contacts, overdue follow-ups, and lapsed close dates. Flags problems and suggests next actions weekly.

All built with the Claude ecosystem: Projects, Cowork, MCP connectors, Skills, and Scheduled Tasks. The programme teaches you how.

How it works

Five beats. Your problem in, your solution out.

Each stage moves your real project forward. Nothing is theoretical.

1 — Bring a real problem

A short onboarding turns your actual day-job problem into your personal project brief. Not a made-up case study. The thing that is actually eating your time. Richard helps you scope it so it is achievable within the programme.

2 — Learn by building it

Your course adapts to your project and adjusts when you get stuck. It is generated for you, not pulled off a shelf. Progress is tracked so nothing gets lost between sessions. You are building from week one.

3 — Get coached where it counts

One-to-one time with Richard when you are stuck, when you need to make a decision, or when you want to make sure you are building the right thing. Not scripted walkthroughs. Real problem-solving.

4 — The in-person day

Present what you have built, compare notes, swap ideas, and meet the room. Event people like meeting event people. The network, the momentum, and the peer support that keeps you going.

5 — Leave with proof

A working system that solves a named problem in your business, and a measured picture of the time and money it saves you, tracked in the Learning Hub. Not a certificate. A result.

Barcelona, January 2026. Building this training platform using the methodology it teaches, right after attending ICE Gaming. That's Richard with Bogdan (Visual Hive founder) reflected in the window.
