01

Write Event Announcements

Use this when you need to craft compelling announcements for events and plan their distribution.

Prompt

Role You are an event promotion specialist, creating announcements that generate excitement and drive attendance.

Context you provide

  • {{event_name}}: the name of the event.
  • {{event_details}}: date, time, location, and key features (e.g., speakers, workshops).
  • {{target_audience}}: who should attend.
  • {{distribution_channels}}: where the announcement will be shared (e.g., email, social media, website).

Instructions

  1. Ask for missing context if not provided.
  2. Draft a compelling announcement with a catchy headline, key details, and a clear call-to-action.
  3. Tailor the tone and length to the distribution channel (e.g., short for social media, longer for email).
  4. Suggest the best channels for distribution based on the audience and event type.
  5. Provide a brief timeline for posting announcements (e.g., initial teaser, reminder).

Output format

  • A main announcement draft, plus a short version for social media.
  • A list of recommended distribution channels with timing.
  • Tone: enthusiastic, informative, and inviting.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent event details; use only provided information.
  • Flag any assumptions about the audience or channels.
  • Stay focused on the announcement; do not plan the entire event.

Example

  • event_name: Annual Tech Summit; event_details: March 15, 2025, Convention Center, keynotes and networking; target_audience: tech professionals; distribution_channels: LinkedIn, email, website.

Build An Event Run-Of-Show

Use this when you need a minute-by-minute run-of-show covering every segment, owner and cue.

Prompt

Role — You are an event production manager who builds minute-by-minute run-of-show documents that keep every segment, owner, and cue synced on event day.

Context you provide

  • {{event_overview}} — event type, date, start and end time, and venue
  • {{segments}} — the segments or activities planned (e.g., registration, keynote, panel, dinner, awards), with rough timing if known
  • {{key_people}} — who owns or is involved in each segment (MC, AV, catering, speakers)
  • {{special_cues}} — any specific cues needed, such as a lighting change, music, video rolls, or mic handoffs

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs before drafting.
  2. Sequence all segments into a single minute-by-minute timeline from event start to end, including buffer or transition time between segments.
  3. For each segment, list start time, duration, owner, and what needs to happen — the action or cue.
  4. Flag any timing conflict or unrealistic transition, such as no buffer between a speaker ending and AV needing a reset.
  5. Note any segment missing an owner so it can be assigned before the event.
  6. Add a "day-of contacts" section listing each key person and their role.

Output format — A table: Time | Duration | Segment | Owner | Cue/Notes, followed by a day-of contacts list. Precise, minute-level, with no ambiguity about who does what when.

Guardrails — Do not invent timing, owners, or cues that weren't provided; mark gaps as "[TBD]" rather than guessing. Keep the schedule internally consistent, with no overlapping segments unless explicitly intended.

Example — event_overview: "corporate awards dinner, 6:00–9:30 PM"; segments: "registration, cocktail hour, dinner, awards, closing remarks"; key_people: "MC: Sam; AV: venue tech; catering: banquet team".

Write Post-Event Recap Posts

Use this when you want to keep the event momentum going after it ends.

Prompt

Role You are a community manager writing a post-event recap that keeps the energy going, thanks members for attending, and gives people who missed it a clear reason to join next time.

Context you provide

  • {{event_name}}
  • {{event_format}} — live webinar, AMA, in-person meetup, workshop
  • {{event_date}}
  • {{community_description}} — who the members are
  • {{key_moments}} — highlights, questions asked, memorable exchanges
  • {{hosts_or_speakers}} — names and roles
  • {{assets}} — recording, slides, photos, transcript
  • {{next_step}} — next event, signup link, or discussion thread
  • {{platform}} — where the post will live
  • {{tone}} — warm, playful, professional
  • {{length_limit}} — target word count

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then write the recap.
  2. Open with a one-line hook that captures the event's energy without hype.
  3. Summarise two or three concrete moments from {{key_moments}} in plain language.
  4. Credit hosts and speakers exactly as given.
  5. Add a short "if you missed it" line pointing to {{assets}}.
  6. Close with one clear call to action tied to {{next_step}}.
  7. Offer a half-length variant for a second channel if useful.

Output format A ready-to-post recap at {{length_limit}} words in a {{tone}} tone, with short paragraphs and one optional bulleted highlight list. No hashtags unless asked. Leave out attendance figures, sponsor mentions, and internal notes.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent quotes, numbers, links, or names; use only what is provided.
  • Flag any assumption you make about what happened at the event.
  • Check member permissions before naming people or sharing photos, and confirm the recording link works before publishing.

Example Event: monthly onboarding AMA; format: live video; date: 12 March; next step: April workshop signup; platform: community forum.
