BEACON GATHER HTX
A clearer way into Houston's event landscape.
Houston is already gathering. Beacon Gather HTX brings public events from across the city into one curated, searchable calendar, so finding something that fits takes less hunting.
One calendar. A lot of quiet work behind it.
Event details live across venue sites, ticketing platforms, feeds, calendars, and social spaces. Beacon Gather HTX checks more than 84 sources, brings publishable events into a shared format, removes duplicate listings, and organizes what remains by type and energy level. The public experience stays simple even when the system behind it is not.

THREE SURFACES
Public where it should be. Private where it needs to be.
Public event calendar
Browse, filter, and search published events gathered from public sources across the city.
Review stream
A private console for uncertain classifications, event approvals, and system-health review.
Agent access
A read-only event catalog that approved AI agents can query when helping someone find relevant upcoming activities.
THE SYSTEM
From scattered listings to a useful signal.
- 01
Harvest
A scheduled fleet checks each source with the simplest reliable method available, from APIs and feeds to structured web data and browser-based extraction.
- 02
Normalize
Titles, dates, locations, costs, descriptions, and source links become one validated event format while the original capture stays intact.
- 03
Deduplicate
Similar listings are compared and collapsed into one event, with the most trustworthy public source selected for attribution.
- 04
Classify
A layered classifier assigns event types and confidence scores. Clear results can move forward; uncertain ones wait for human review.
- 05
Publish
Only events from publishable sources can reach the public calendar. Private-source events remain private regardless of confidence.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Automation without pretending certainty.
Use the lightest reliable tool
APIs and structured feeds win before crawling or AI. The system avoids expensive interpretation when a source already provides exact data.
Keep provenance visible
The system remembers where each event came from and favors venue-owned sources over reposts.
Leave room for judgment
Automation handles repetition. Ambiguity goes to a human queue instead of becoming false certainty on the public calendar.
What should Houston be able to find?
If you know a venue calendar, event source, or corner of the city that belongs in the mix, send it over. We can begin there.
