Where Cadence fits better.
Production-first workflows
Run sheets, call sheets, bump-in/out and kits — not registration flows and attendee badges.
AI assistant 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 won't replace a registration platform — we focus on the production side of the show.
Switching from EventsAir.
You can import clients, events and inventory from CSV in onboarding. Most teams run a single upcoming show in Cadence 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 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 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 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 is built for you.
How does pricing compare to EventsAir?
Cadence has transparent public AUD pricing starting at $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 handle attendee registration?
Cadence focuses on production operations — crew, gear, logistics, run sheets, contracts and finance. We integrate with ticketing platforms (Eventbrite, Humanitix) for attendee data rather than replacing a full attendee-management suite. If registration and badging is the core of your business, EventsAir is purpose-built for that.
