AI & Automation in Events: What’s Actually Working?
An inside look at how event professionals are using AI to work faster, think smarter, and finally get ahead of the chaos.
AI is showing up everywhere – but for many event professionals, the challenge isn’t finding AI tools. It’s figuring out how to make them genuinely useful.
How do you move beyond simple prompts?
What workflows actually save time?
Where does AI fit into project management, communication, planning, and operations – and where doesn't it?
For our August EPN Meetup, we’re opening up the conversation around how event professionals are integrating AI into their daily work, building repeatable workflows, and using automation to reduce repetitive tasks so they can spend more time on strategy, creativity, and delivering exceptional events.
Before the meetup, we'll invite registrants to complete a short survey about their current AI experience, biggest opportunities, and challenges. Input will help guide the discussion and ensure we're talking about what matters most to you!
