Written by the company

Behind the Stage is a professional learning platform built for people who run real events, not just plan them on paper. It exists to help event professionals move from constant firefighting to calm, systems driven leadership. Designed for event producers working in festivals, civic events, sport and large outdoor activations, Behind the Stage focuses on the practical realities of delivering complex events under pressure. The training draws on 35+ years of field experience and proven planning principles inspired by the military and emergency services, translating them into tools that work on live sites, not just in theory. At the core of Behind the Stage is the belief that scheduling, risk management and communication are leadership skills. Participants learn how to create clear operational schedules, align teams around intent, anticipate risk, manage change and run structured debriefs that improve every event that follows. The approach is practical, repeatable and designed to reduce stress, not add to it. All learning is delivered online and self paced, making it accessible to busy professionals working irregular hours and across time zones. Whether managing a local council event or a large scale activation, Behind the Stage equips event leaders with the structure, confidence and clarity to lead with calm control when it matters most.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Clarity over Chaos

Iain delivers engaging, structured lessons that progressively build a complete understanding of event scheduling. The content is highly practical and grounded in Iain's real-world experience.

A particularly unique and valuable aspect of this course is how Iain demonstrates the intentional use of AI prompting to support scheduling, helping save time while providing an additional layer of review to ensure plans and run sheets are thorough and resilient.

Reflecting after completing the content about a month ago, one of the key takeaways for me is something that events professionals should need reminding every now and then, which is that meticulous planning for clarity is not a nice to have, it is necessary!

I would highly recommend this course to anyone working in events, even if you do not work directly with scheduling, as the context is incredibly insightful!

Thank you for such a thoughtful reflection. It’s wonderful to hear the ideas around clarity, planning and using AI as a second set of eyes have stayed with you after completing the course.

Highly recommend!!! 5 stars 🌟

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found it extremely valuable, especially as I have recently launched my own events business. Although my current focus is on smaller events, it has prepared me to work on major live events and has given me the confidence to hit the ground running, when the opportunity arises. The real-life examples were particularly interesting and kept me engaged, especially seeing how problems were overcome in real event situations. Iain’s vast experience in the major events industry gives the course high credibility and I found his extensive knowledge on how to manage situations and problem solve invaluable. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to get into event management, further their skills while working in the events industry or may be looking to launch their own events company.

A wealth of knowledge !

Overall, I enjoyed the educational yet captivating nature of this course. Iain sharing his expertise has allowed me to translate his processes into my own thought patterns and way of working within the event space. It has given me greater context and tools on running larger scale events and provided me with in sites on how to effectively integrate AI as “another set of eyes” as opposed to it doing any of your work for you. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to head into the event space or looking to up-skill and better your processes.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It’s great to hear the frameworks helped shift how you think and work, particularly using AI as an extra set of eyes rather than something that replaces leadership or judgement.
