The Producer Shop
Operational systems for
professional event teams.
Professional event planning templates, production schedules, run of show templates, vendor management systems, event budgets, and operational tools built from more than twenty years producing live events.
Corporate events, experiential marketing, brand activations, conferences, galas, hospitality, venue operations. Built for professionals who want calmer planning, clearer communication, and stronger execution.
Built from 20+ years producing hundreds of live events.
Why it works
Success happens before load-in.
The strongest events are not held together by memory, improvisation, or twelve disconnected email threads. They are built on systems that make responsibilities visible, decisions clear, and execution repeatable.
Who it is for
Built for the people who produce live events for a living: event producers and production managers, experiential and brand-activation agencies, corporate and marketing event teams, venue sales and operations, hospitality, conference and meeting professionals, and the nonprofit teams behind the year's most important night.
If a room full of people is depending on your plan, these systems were built for you.

Built from practice
Every system reflects the real decisions, dependencies, and operational pressure of professional events.
Designed for clarity
The purpose is not to make planning look prettier. It is to make responsibilities, timelines, costs, and risks easier to understand.
Made to be used
Editable, practical, and structured for the way working producers, agencies, venues, and corporate teams operate.
Built by a working producer
Twenty years of live production, built into every file.
The Producer Shop was created by Dana Bartle, a New York event-industry executive who has spent more than two decades producing complex live events: corporate programs, brand activations, product launches, conferences, galas, nonprofit fundraisers, and experiential work across venues, hospitality, fashion, and media.
These systems were not written as templates. They were built, broken, and rebuilt across hundreds of real productions, refined over years until they held up under the pressure of a live floor. What you download is the operational layer an experienced producer already relies on long before guests arrive.
