Pair with the AI team

Five BD workflows the calendar feeds into

The calendar is the input layer. Pair it with the right agent + skill and the same event list becomes a conference strategy, a pre-event outreach sequence, a target-meeting list, or a post-event follow-up program — with the social and email content built alongside.

Workflow 1

Build a conference strategy

Operating Calendar → Conference & Events Coordinator → Conference Follow-Up Sequencer → an attendance plan, target meeting list, and follow-up plan per event.

See Conference Coordinator

Workflow 2

Create pre-event outreach

Operating Calendar + Lender Registry → Capital Markets Associate + BD Associate → Lender Outreach Drafter → personalized intros per target.

See Capital Markets seat

Workflow 3

Build conference-week content

Operating Calendar → Social Media Manager + Content Writer → Social Media Calendar Builder → a content sprint that compounds the trip.

See Marketing team

Workflow 4

Run post-event follow-up

Event contact list → Deal Team Assistant → Meeting Notes → Action Tracker + Conference Follow-Up Sequencer → sequenced personal follow-ups.

See Deal Team Assistant

Workflow 5

Email campaigns around event week

Operating Calendar → Email Marketing Manager → Email Sequence Writer → pre-event and post-event drips tuned to the audience segment.
