AI for Event Professionals: What to Do Now, and What’s Coming Next
Alan D. Thompson is the person AI labs, governments, and major organisations call when they want to understand what today’s AI can actually do.
In this practical session, conference organisers will see what major governments, trillion-dollar wealth funds, and Fortune 500s are learning about AI, and what event businesses can apply right now.
Through live demonstrations and real examples, you’ll see what you can start using AI for now: research, proposals, marketing, contracts and legal documents, delegate communications, content creation, and day-to-day operations. You’ll also see how much more informed and AI-savvy audiences have become, why they increasingly expect accurate, rigorous, and genuinely expert AI content, which developments matter, and what is worth preparing for next.
Alan will close with what conference organisers should prepare for as AI moves rapidly toward superintelligence, and why storytelling will become even more powerful in making complex ideas memorable.
Dr Thompson is sponsored by ICMI Speakers & Entertainers
