Run the show from a live, production-ready view.
EventBlok Showflow turns programme information into a practical cue-by-cue run-of-show for show callers, operators and crew.
A shared live source of truth during the event.
| cue | action | dept | state |
|---|---|---|---|
| 47.0 | House to half | LX | done |
| 47.1 | VT roll — opener | A/V | done |
| 48.0 | Keynote walk-on | LX | ● GO |
| 48.1 | Lower-third: name | GFX | stby |

| FOH | standing by on 48.1 |
| LX | house at half, holding |
| A/V | VT armed |
| GFX | lower-third loaded |
Spreadsheets are excellent at rows. A showflow is not rows — it is cue-level context, department views, timing that recalculates and a shared state everyone on comms can act on.
Cue-level detail, in the order it happens. VT rolls, walk-ons, states, hard stops.
The programme says a session runs 25 minutes. The showflow says what happens inside those 25 minutes, at the granularity a person on comms can act on.
- ✓Cues, timings, notes and operational detail
- ✓Hard windows that will not move
- ✓Session-linked production views

Six people reading the running order, none of them needing the same thing.
A department view is a filter on one shared document rather than a printed variant that can go stale between the print and the doors.
- ✓Departments, roles and comms in one document
- ✓Every view prints, with a version and timestamp
- ✓GFX, LX, A/V, FOH and stage each see their own
Not a re-entry of the agenda. A deeper view of it.
The running order is already there when you start building cues, and a session moved by the organiser is a running order that has already moved.
- ✓Built from the published programme
- ✓Production detail hidden from the public view
- ✓Post-show, the record is what actually happened
A spreadsheet has no notion of now. A showflow does.
One current cue
Everyone on comms is looking at the same position in the same document. "We are on cue 48" becomes a fact rather than a claim.
| cue | action | dept | state |
|---|---|---|---|
| 47.0 | House to half | LX | done |
| 47.1 | VT roll — opener | A/V | done |
| 48.0 | Keynote walk-on | LX | ● GO |
| 48.1 | Lower-third: name | GFX | stby |
| dept | last call |
|---|---|
| FOH | standing by on 48.1 |
| LX | house at half, holding |
| A/V | VT armed |
| GFX | lower-third loaded |
Timing that recalculates
Planned, actual and projected at once — so a two-minute overrun in the opening shows you its consequence at 16:00, while there is still time to absorb it.
| start | session | room | track |
|---|---|---|---|
| 09:30 | Opening keynote | Main Stage | A |
| 11:00 | Panel — Real-time payments | Main Stage | A |
| 13:45 ⟲ | Fireside — Regulators | Studio | B |
| 15:15 | Workshop — Fraud models | Hall 2 | B |
| 16:45 | Closing remarks | Main Stage | A |
Changes land in place
Not as a screenshot in a group chat with no timestamp anyone trusts. Twenty minutes later, nobody is operating from the second-to-last picture.

| Operator laptop | mirror | live |
| Stream Deck | webhook | armed |

Built for the room it is used in.
Dark room, fast read
Mono type, high contrast, no decoration. Read by someone who is also listening to three people.
Prints properly
Paper is a legitimate backup. Every department view prints with its version on it.
Bring the running order
It already exists somewhere. Import it rather than retyping it.
Somebody is holding the comms. Build for them.
Three people in a gallery, one running order between them. The showflow is the instrument the person calling this room is playing — cue-level, legible in the dark, and current for everyone on the ring.
