Where Cadence Ops fits better.

Production-first workflows

Run sheets, call sheets, bump-in/out and kits — not registration flows and attendee badges.

Cadence Ops on your live data

Ask for status, gaps and conflicts across events, crew and gear. No dashboards to build.

Agent API for external systems

A documented agent API so your ticketing, accounting and ops tools can read and write.

Fast, transparent onboarding

No implementation project. Sign up, import, ship your next show this week. AUD pricing on the website.

Where EventsAir may fit better.

If your business is primarily a conference organiser or association whose core workflow is attendee registration, badging, session scheduling and on-site check-in for thousands of delegates, EventsAir is purpose-built for that shape. Cadence Ops won't replace a registration platform — we focus on the production side of the show.

Switching from EventsAir.

You can hand your existing run sheets, spreadsheets and vendor lists to Cadence Ops in chat and it organises them into clients, events and inventory. Most teams run a single upcoming show in Cadence Ops in parallel for one cycle, then cut over the rest of the calendar once the team is comfortable. Our team helps with the import and the first show — at no charge.

FAQ

Is Cadence Ops an EventsAir alternative?

For production-led teams, yes. EventsAir is a conference and corporate-event management platform built around registration, badging and attendee comms. Cadence Ops is built for the teams putting on the show — AV companies, touring crews, festival operators — with crew, gear, logistics, contracts and finance in one operational view.

Who is Cadence Ops built for?

AV and lighting companies, touring production crews, festival and event operators, stage and set builders, brand activation agencies, and corporate AV teams. If you run the back-of-house for live events, Cadence Ops is built for you.

How does pricing compare to EventsAir?

Cadence Ops has transparent public AUD pricing starting from $99/mo, scaling to enterprise. EventsAir is quote-based and typically priced for larger conference organisers. Most production teams will land on the Professional or Operations plan.

Does Cadence Ops handle attendee registration?

Cadence Ops focuses on production operations — crew, gear, logistics, run sheets, contracts and finance. External ticketing connections are in preview rather than presented as a replacement for a full attendee-management suite. If registration and badging is the core of your business, EventsAir is purpose-built for that.
