The "Fragmented Knowledge" Problem
Scattered vendor contracts, catering menus, and client preferences (e.g., floral arrangements or AV requirements) buried in email chains and shared drives
Repeated reinvention of event templates for recurring themes like weddings, corporate retreats, or product launches, leading to inconsistent branding and budget overruns
Team miscommunications during high-pressure event timelines, such as 48-hour setup rushes, due to inconsistent access to floor plans, timelines, or vendor SLAs
Onboarding new event planners who struggle to grasp historical learnings, such as venue pitfalls in rainy seasons or client-specific dietary restrictions from past galas
Post-event debriefs lost in scattered notes, leading to repeated mistakes like overlooked sponsor deliverables or timeline delays in future client activations
Compliance risks from outdated safety protocols (e.g., fire marshal approvals) and regulatory updates like ADA accessibility not centralized for multi-venue events

What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, our team was drowning in Google Drive folders every time we planned a corporate retreat, sifting through old AV bids and lighting schematics. Now, querying 'best AV setups for 200-person venues with hybrid streaming' pulls up exactly what we need in seconds. We've cut prep time from 20 hours to 4 per event, and landed two new Fortune 500 clients last quarter because we could respond faster to their RFP timelines.""
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Event Coordinator, Horizon Events Group (mid-sized firm specializing in corporate retreats)
""Implementing their custom knowledge base transformed how we handle wedding season chaos—no more lost vendor quotes for photographers or forgotten client allergies from past ceremony briefs. In the first three months, we saved about 15 hours a week across the team on playlist and decor sourcing, which let us take on 20% more bookings without hiring extras, hitting our peak season revenue targets early.""
Mike Rivera
Operations Director, Elite Celebrations (boutique wedding planning agency)
""As a small firm, we couldn't afford delays from scattered notes on gala logistics, like permit filings or sponsor booth layouts. AIQ's system organizes everything from fire safety checklists to sponsor decks automatically. Our error rate dropped 50% on compliance checks, and we just wrapped a major nonprofit conference without the usual last-minute scrambles—clients noticed and renewed their three-year contract immediately.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this differ from using shared drives or basic search tools?
Shared drives and basic tools treat your event knowledge like a static filing cabinet—cluttered and hard to navigate under pressure. Our custom AI knowledge base acts like a seasoned planner's brain: it understands context, pulls relevant vendor quotes or client prefs instantly, and evolves with your business. For event firms, this means querying 'rainy day backups for outdoor galas' yields tailored responses from past events, not endless scrolling. We've seen teams reduce search time by 80%, freeing hours for client calls. Plus, it's integrated, so updates from one event flow automatically, preventing outdated info mishaps.
What types of event data can be automated into the knowledge base?
We handle everything from client briefs and vendor contracts to floor plans, budgets, and post-event feedback. For professional services like yours, this includes ingesting scattered sources—emails, spreadsheets, even voice notes from site visits—into a searchable hub. Imagine pulling up a full history of AV failures at similar venues in seconds. Our AI organizes it intelligently, tagging by event type (weddings, corporates) and season, with benchmarks showing 50% faster access during crunch times. It's custom-built to your workflow, ensuring no detail like dietary restrictions slips through.
How long does implementation take for an event planning firm?
Typically 4-8 weeks, depending on your data volume and integrations. We start with a quick audit of your tools (like Eventbrite or your CRM), then build and test iteratively. For a mid-sized event company with 50+ past events, we can have a MVP live in 3 weeks, with full optimization following. This phased approach minimizes disruption during peak seasons—your team stays focused on executions while we handle the tech. Post-launch, we provide training to ensure adoption, leading to immediate wins like 10-15 hours saved weekly on planning.
Is the knowledge base secure for sensitive client information?
Absolutely—security is paramount in client-relationship industries like event planning. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access (e.g., coordinators see basics, directors access full histories), and compliance with standards like GDPR for international events. Unlike cloud tools with broad access risks, our custom builds keep data on your controlled servers. We've audited systems for firms handling celebrity weddings, ensuring no breaches. Regular updates protect against evolving threats, giving you peace of mind when storing high-value client details like custom themes or budgets.
Can this scale as our event planning business grows?
Yes, designed for growth from 10 to 100+ events annually. Our architecture uses scalable frameworks that handle increased data without performance dips—think adding thousands of new vendor entries yearly. For expanding firms, we incorporate multi-team access and API hooks for new tools. Clients report seamless scaling, with no rework needed as they add services like virtual events. This ownership model means you're not locked into resizing fees; it's a one-time build that adapts, supporting your trajectory from local gigs to national conferences.
What ROI can event planners expect from this automation?
Industry benchmarks show 250-400% ROI in year one, driven by time savings alone. For a team of five, that's 60+ hours weekly reclaimed from manual hunts, equating to $75K in productivity gains at average planner rates. Beyond costs, it boosts win rates by 30% through faster, error-free proposals informed by past successes. We've tracked cases where firms handled 25% more events without extra staff, directly tying to revenue growth. It's not just savings—it's leveraging your expertise as a competitive edge in client pitches.
