Shouldered AI  /  For conference and trade show organizers. Coming Q1 2027.

Your next conference, Shouldered. Coming Q1 2027.

The events HQ is coming in Q1 2027, and you can book now. Run your event on it: attendees, sponsors, speakers and every follow up after the doors close.

What keeps you up at night

"Sponsors slip because nobody followed up."

Every sponsor lead gets a follow up on time, with the deck and the next step, so fewer slip away.

"Speakers need fifty emails each."

Speaker invites, forms, travel details and reminders are tracked so your team is not chasing them.

"Attendee questions flood the inbox the week before."

Tabitha at the Service Desk answers attendee questions the same day and passes the hard ones to your team.

"The follow up after the event never happens."

Thank you notes, sessions and next year's early sign ups go out while the event is still fresh.

What your HQ does

Simon and seven desks of Heroes, working for event organizers.

Simon · HQ

Shows the organizer sign ups, sponsor pipeline and open tasks in one view.

Lydia · Sales Desk

Follows up with every sponsor and exhibitor lead until there is a yes or a no.

Silas · Marketing Desk

Drafts invitations, speaker announcements and countdown posts for review.

Tabitha · Service Desk

Answers attendee questions about tickets, schedule and travel.

Nehemiah · Operations Desk

Tracks speakers, vendors, room schedules and reminders.

Matthew · Finance Desk

Sends sponsor invoices and chases late payments.

Simon runs HQ: all the tech and all the brain power, and the one you talk to. Each of the seven desks is run by a Hero, and Simon directs all seven and answers for them. A person approves what matters, and legal, tax, medical and financial decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.

A day with HQ running

Two weeks before the show. Sponsor follow ups went out this morning, three signed contracts came back, and the invoices went out with them. Speakers got their schedule and a reminder to send slides. On stage, you can show your attendees the agent turning on and off, live, so they see what an HQ looks like for their own business.

An illustration, not a promised result.

How the math works

Start

Book now for Q1 2027. Start with your organization on an HQ from $750 a month for Small (Founding price: $500, first 50 companies only), and run your next event on it when the events HQ arrives.

Grow

Exhibitors and sponsors who want their own HQ can have one from $750 a month (Founding price: $500, first 50 companies only). Buy 10, get the 11th free.

Your Hero is here to improve the human. Your HQ, led by Simon, is here to improve your business.

Your investment

Two prices, and 50 Founding places.

First, what the work costs you today. A full-time office manager runs most small businesses about $4,000 to $5,000 a month with taxes and benefits, and goes home at five. Every call nobody answers is a job that goes to someone else.

Business coaching often costs $5,000 to $7,500 for one session day. HQ does the work every month, with a coach running the Shouldered Way and workshops included. Already have a coach? HQ works alongside them.

Prices are per month. Only the first 50 companies (the Founding 50) get the Founding price with a two-year commitment, paid yearly by bank transfer, and keep it for as long as they renew. Pay yearly by bank transfer and take 3% off. Onboarding is $1,000 for Small and $2,000 for Medium, paid once, and free at Shouldered events. It is one 1-hour call: technical setup with our technical team first, then your business with our team. The person who sold you HQ joins your onboarding call. Paid for the year, you get a named person who checks in every month. Month to month gets standard support. Twenty-one people and up is built around you. More seats are $25 each (Founding price $20), and more hours $12.50 each; hours count only while HQ is working, like minutes on a phone plan.

Enterprise and government. For large companies and public agencies. Custom plans start at $5,000 a month. Pilots are paid. We start SOC 2 Type 1 work in 2027. Texas agencies: we are working toward TX-RAMP.

The six-month guarantee · HQ plans

If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.

The onboarding fee is not refunded. The guarantee asks one thing of you: let HQ do its work. Give it the access it needs and review its work in good faith. If our records show you kept declining or blocking the work HQ set out to do, the guarantee does not apply. If we see that happening, we tell you in writing so you can fix it.

The six months start the day HQ goes live for you. The Founding 50 are included. The guarantee covers HQ only, never coach fees.

Questions event organizers ask
Is the events HQ live?

Not yet. It is coming in Q1 2027, and you can book now.

Can we show it on stage?

Yes. An organizer can run their event on it, and on stage the agent can be shown turning on and off.

What can we use before Q1 2027?

The Hero is available now, and the general HQ launches in December 2026.

Does it replace our ticketing platform?

No. It works around the tools you already use and handles the follow ups.

How do we book?

Email simon@shouldered.com or talk to our team, and we will hold a spot for your event.
