Past 3 Years

- 2023: ChatGPT assisted with event content creation, speaker coordination emails, and marketing materials, saving 10+ hours per event
- 2024: AI-powered venue matching and vendor recommendation tools streamlined sourcing processes that previously required extensive research
2-5 Year Outlook
- By 2026, AI will automate 50% of event logistics and communications, with planners focusing on experience design and relationship management
