Conductor Can Now Create

Conductor, the teammate inside Opendate, can now place holds, duplicate events, re-price tickets, draft fan broadcasts from a sentence, and so much more. You approve every action.

From answers to action

When we launched Conductor, it could see your venue: sell-through, holds, fan history, settlements, food and beverage, any question, answered in plain English. Then we made it connectable, so it could live inside the tools your team already uses. That access is now on for every team.

Today is the next step, and it's the biggest one. Conductor can create.

Conductor Can Now Create-1

In a single sentence, typed or now spoken out loud, Conductor can:

  • Place and clear holds. "Clear the calling hold at the Vogue on the 14th." Done.
  • Duplicate an event to a new date, without rebuilding it from scratch.
  • Build and re-price ticket types. "Round up the advance prices on the comedy series." In bulk.
  • Draft and send a fan broadcast. It writes the email; you review, tweak, and send.
  • Read a PDF offer and enter it into Opendate. The buyer sends a PDF; Conductor reads it and fills in the system. The twenty minutes of hand-jamming every offer? Gone.

The Data Behind the Decision

We ran a poll during a recent webinar. We asked a room full of venue operators a simple question: where do you most want help?

Here's how it broke down:

  • 39% marketing and fan engagement
  • 33% operations and decision-making
  • 22% booking and offer construction
  • 6% add-on revenue

Look at the top three. Ninety-four percent of operators pointed at the daily work of running a venue: filling rooms, making decisions, booking shows. Not science fiction. The work.

This week, Conductor starts doing that work.

The rule that makes it work: Conductor proposes, you decide

Here's what we're not doing. We're not handing your venue to a robot. Conductor drafts the email, lines up the hold, fills in the offer, and then it stops and waits for you. Nothing happens without your approval.

That's the whole philosophy. As Steve put it on the webinar: the big-vision promise of technology running your venue for you is over-hyped, and the real impact it's having today is under-hyped. The real impact isn't magic. It's the boring stuff: the twenty minutes of typing, the duplicate data entry, the announcement that has to go out tonight. Conductor takes that off your plate and leaves the decisions where they belong, with you.

Built for operators. By operators.

Not one of these actions were invented in a vacuum. Every single one traces back to a real venue asking for it:

  • A theater wanted to round up advance prices across a comedy series.
  • A growing venue wanted to compose and send a fan broadcast.
  • A talent buyer wanted to clear a hold.
  • While other customers have been pushing Conductor for months: exporting confirmed-show lists, comparing year over year, pulling ticket-holder histories, surfacing every expense on an offer.

We ship what you ask for. That's the loop.

Why this matters now

Every ticketing platform has a dashboard. Plenty of them put up a page about new technology this year. What no one else in live entertainment has done is ship a teammate that acts on your venue and lets you approve every move. The future isn't coming; it's leaking into the present.

If you're already in Conductor, your next question can be a task. If you're not, it's checkout the live demo this week, and it's the thing your peers won't stop talking about.
