AI agent for event planners

Event Vendor Deadline Tracker Agent

Make sure each vendor deliverable is confirmed by evidence before its deadline, with a plan B when it slips.

Event Vendor Deadline Tracker Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Each event has dozens of vendor deadlines, and the first sign of a missed one is a panicked call a week before. The agent builds a deadline list per vendor, including permits, deposits, insurance certificates and artwork, with dependencies. Each day it checks the inbox and shared folders for receipts and files to confirm what was delivered. It does not trust a promise, only evidence. For missing items it sends a reminder, and for late items it re-plans the tasks that depend on them, such as moving the print order or the load-in time. It escalates when the slack time gets short. Edge case: a vendor sends the right file name but with the wrong version. The agent checks the file date. The marketer approves payments and contract changes.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

An item is done only when a receipt or file is found. An item at risk has less than 3 days of slack against the event plan.

  • Count an item as done only with a dated receipt or file
  • Remind the vendor 5 days before the deadline
  • Escalate when slack is under 3 days
  • Check that a file is the latest version before accepting it

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Reminder lead time (default 5 days)
  • Slack limit for escalation (default 3 days)
  • Vendors and deliverable types
  • Where proofs are stored
  • Status report recipients

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Marketer approves payments
  • Marketer approves contract changes and escalation messages

Hard limits

  • Never pay or sign anything itself
  • Do not accept promises as proof

It stops when

  • Done: all deliverables confirmed
  • Stop: a permit is refused, alert the marketer at once

An example run

What happensThe banner printer owes final artwork by June 10. On June 8, no file is in the inbox. The agent sends a reminder and calculates 2 days of slack. On June 9 the printer sends a file named final_v2, but its date is March, so it is an old version. The agent flags it, re-plans delivery to the venue and drafts an escalation. The marketer approves a rush fee of $180.
