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!

 

What to Expect

A community-led conversation around:

  • High-impact AI workflows for event pros

  • Project management, planning, communication, and operations

  • How to get better results by providing AI with better context

  • Tools and automations that will save you time

  • Common mistakes, limitations, and when not to use AI

  • The human skills that will matter even more as AI becomes part of everyday work

About the Event Professionals Network (EPN)

The Event Professionals Network (EPN) was created to bring event professionals together.

Planning events can be incredibly rewarding – but it can also be demanding and sometimes isolating. EPN is a place where planners can connect, learn, share experiences, and support each other as they grow in their careers.

We believe in building a community that is welcoming, practical, and generous with knowledge, where professionals at every stage can find ideas, encouragement, and peers who understand the craft.

Today, our network includes nearly 1,200 event professionals from around the world.

 To engage with EPN, join our community Slack, where members connect, ask questions, and share insights. You can also follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date on conversations, events, and opportunities within the community.
