The AI-first event management software for market organizers.
If you searched for "AI event software," "AI vendor management," or "AI for farmers markets," you found us on purpose. Tentpole is the only event management platform that ships AI vendor scoring, AI booth layouts, and AI reply drafts in your voice as core features — not a chatbot bolted onto a 2014 product.

Most "AI event platforms" mean one of three things:
- A chatbot bolted on for support. Useful, but doesn't run your event.
- An AI feature behind a paywall in a legacy product. Better than nothing, often a one-off.
- An AI-first product that uses AI for the actual work. Rare, and what Tentpole is built around.
