Live event knowledge bases
The conference circuit
Where VES founder Brian Sinclair has been, where he's headed next, and how to get him to your event. After every event he turns what he collected into a live knowledge base — the full agenda, the venue map, what every resource partner actually offers, and an AI assistant trained on all of it. Free to use, whether or not you attended.

- The KB is built DURING the event — agenda, venue, partners, assistant.
- Attendees keep it free, forever — it stays live after the doors close.
- Organizers get a permanent, branded attendee resource without building anything.
The back of the shirt Brian wears on the circuit — the QR opens vesmg.com.
Put Brian in the room.
Brian works the region's senior-care and veteran-business events as an independent field analyst: sessions documented, every vendor on the floor mapped by category, buyer conversations captured — the intelligence written up and delivered. Sponsors put him in the room and get the visibility, the brief, and the introductions. The knowledge base he builds stays free for every attendee.
The proof is already live: see the knowledge base Brian built during the last conference.
