The AI boom has made its mark on the event industry….and we’re loving it! We put together a cheat sheet for how and where to implement AI in corporate and virtual event planning to make your job easier, the process faster, and the outcome better.
General Event Preparation with AI
Research and generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot can operate like your own personal think tank. You can brainstorm event strategies and agendas, and define event roles and responsibilities. They can even help you generate graphics and images, test headlines and PR content, create speaker bios, and suggest moderator questions.
AI can’t truly replace event professionals, but it can make you more efficient and even more creative. The best way to get the most out of generative AI tools is to train them on your event, your mission, and your audience before asking them to help you create. And then look it over and ensure it aligns with your brand, your event, and your audience. You should always review AI content and designs.
Robust Chatbots
Improve the attendee experience with conversational AI chatbots and automated event management software like Sched, Robofy, or FastBots, which can eliminate or reduce time-consuming customer inquiries that are easily solved with simple answers. These tools also produce valuable data you can analyze to learn more about what your audience asks most and how to personalize their experience.
Event Analytics
AI tools like Sprinklr can analyze huge datasets and evaluate attendee or consumer behavior. This tool uses social listening and captures content from social media, emails, chat forums, and customer service chat logs to uncover insights and identify opportunities for messaging optimization, marketing, and sales.
Automated Project Management For Events
AI tools like Sched, Monday.com, ClickUp, and Asana have specific templates and functions to help you plan, create, and launch your event, whether it’s virtual or in-person. You can automate repetitive tasks from scheduling and budgets to communications and file management, increasing efficiency and decreasing workload. Many of these tools can integrate with Zapier and automate other off-platform tasks within your organization and event operations.
Post-Event Evaluation Using AI
Teach your favorite AI tool about your event with your primary goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) like event attendance, vendor and attendee feedback, leads, sales, and anything else that may be relevant. Let the artificial intelligence and machine learning models summarize the data and share key takeaways from the event.
