Happy AI’ing
I hosted a session yesterday at Confex with event industry experts Abi Cannons and Ade Allenby around the subject of AI in events.
We discussed topics such as how is and how could AI be used in events today, how can it support you in marketing or content creation (top tip, it's all about the quality) as well as the potential pitfalls or certain things to watch out for if you rely too heavily on AI - you don't want to lose serendipity!
We also touched on the importance of using data effectively and how understanding it first can help you make better decisions, regardless of how you utilize AI.
There were some great questions from the audience in relation to personalization, audience targeting and also looking at business insight and analytics for events utilizing AI, which we'll cover in a future article.
Ade said of the session: “The benefit of AI in events is speed to value. Whether it is finding matches of people to meet, helping you find your next meeting with indoor navigation, or giving your show team content tools to help acquisition and fulfilment. AI tools help you do it better and faster.
“I urge all my industry colleagues to get to know the tools we’ve discussed as it will be a game changer in the experiences you can create and the quality of delivery you can achieve”.
