event goals.

The goal of Shaper Capital’s AI in Healthcare Summit was to bring together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers driving the future of AI in healthcare for a dynamic day of discussion, insight-sharing, and meaningful networking.

how we work with Shaper Capital.

  • venue & vendor coordination: cred owned all coordination with the event venue to ensure every detail came together seamlessly. We liaised directly with the venue and all key vendors—managing timelines, logistics, and onsite execution. From AV to catering to furniture rentals and décor and swag, we oversaw every moving part to deliver a polished event experience for attendees.

  • hotel block management: Our team managed the hotel room block for attendees, overseeing all reservations to ensure a smooth and streamlined experience. We closely tracked pickup and attrition throughout the booking period, proactively adjusting as needed to stay within contract terms. Weekly updates were shared with the Shaper Capital team to provide clear visibility into rooming status. 

  • design assets: We oversaw the development and execution of all event design assets in collaboration with our design agency partner. We provided all necessary specs, content, and requirements for event items such as the agenda, name badges, printed and digital signage, programs, and stage design and thoroughly reviewed each piece for accuracy before final approval and production. We also sourced and coordinated with trusted print and production vendors to ensure everything was delivered on time to SFJAZZ.

  • emcee prep and moderator coaching: We worked closely with Shaper Capital’s emcees and panel moderators to ensure impactful messaging and panel conversations. We developed custom training guides with best practices for optimal engagement, prepared scripts, and conducted live training and coaching sessions with feedback for optimal onstage execution. 

  • project management: Throughout the planning process, we led end-to-end project management in close partnership with the Shaper Capital team, aligning through collaborative weekly syncs and regular status update emails. We built and maintained a detailed workback schedule, managed budget updates with all vendor payments and deliverable deadlines, and developed a comprehensive run of show for the day of the event. Post-event, we facilitated a collaborative debrief to share feedback and key takeaways from both the planning phase and onsite execution, along with recommendations for future events.

  • onsite management: We loved being onsite at the SFJAZZ Center with the Shaper Capital team! Alongside about 20 internal team members from Shaper Capital and their event co-hosts, Protege and Fractional AI, we worked together to deliver a seamless and memorable experience for attendees. The cred team managed attendee and speaker check-in, show-called each panel, coordinated all vendor load-in and load-out, and oversaw post-event transportation from the venue.
