Is iveo right for you?

Is iveo right for you in event direction?

  • You direct live events and want to control programme, lower-thirds and presenter view from a single data source.
  • You work with presenters who need a live countdown, the agenda and backstage information in real time.
  • You want to handle last-minute speaker swaps or programme changes without radio calls and without Excel updates.
  • Your team works with OBS, vMix or a similar setup where HTML5 graphics can be embedded.
  • You direct multi-day events or conferences with multiple stages running in parallel.
  • You only direct fully scripted TV shows without live programme changes.
The Problem

Every second counts in the live moment, but your information lags behind.

You're running the show, calling cues, coordinating tech and presenters, and suddenly the schedule is wrong. A speaker was swapped, a slot moved, a presentation updated, but the info came by email and never reached your run sheet. What happens on stage can't be rewound.

In iveo your run sheet updates in real time with every change your team makes. You don't have to chase anyone or cross-check anything.

Platform Benefits

What Makes iveo Special for Live Directors

Everything you need for live direction is in one interface, in real time.

Run sheets at the push of a button

iveo builds every stage's running order straight from the programme: as a timeline across all stages in the director view and as a print-ready calendar PDF. When the programme changes, the running order changes with it, and you can retire Rundown_final_v12_FINAL.xlsx.

Stage management

Manage multiple stages, rooms and parallel sessions from one place. Each stage has its own schedule, speaker assignments and technical requirements.

Moderation and direction on the same page

In produce mode, the moderator and the director see the same thing: what's running, what's next and who is on which stage when. The moderator maintains their own briefing in iveo beforehand. No radio calls or printed rundowns needed.

Proven references

Leading organisations use iveo, including the German Federal Foreign Office, GIZ and major event agencies. The platform has proven itself at high-profile events.

Future-proof

We keep developing iveo. The updates show what's new, the public roadmap what we're working on. The AI assistant, for example, has been built in since iveo 2.0: it creates events, stages, programme items and people, and turns your Excel, CSV or PDF file into a programme.

Run your next show from the iveo run sheet

Invite your team to the event. Every change they make lands in your run sheet straight away.
