AI can transform an event, but where do planners even start? Joining the conversation is Grant Whitehead (Co-Founder of Wallfly), who shares simple yet highly valuable use cases of how AI is already being used across event planning, event marketing, and event operations to save time, reduce manual work, and improve attendee experience.
Everyone’s talking about AI in events but few are talking about what’s actually working. In this episode, we cut through the hype and get practical about what AI will actually deliver for event professionals by 2026. Joining the discussion are three event tech leaders: Cam MacIntosh (Google Cloud), Mehdi Khalili (EventsAir), and Brandon Wernli (BW Events Tech).
Unforgettable delegate experiences don’t come from blockbuster ideas; they come from small, compounding improvements that add up. In this episode, we break down how marginal gains — tweaks as small as 1% — across the event lifecycle can dramatically boost attendee satisfaction, engagement, and ROI.
