Today's conversation explores the use of AI in event planning and management. I'm joined by AI Event Prof, Anca Platan Trifan to discuss the benefits of using AI tools like ChatGPT to save time, improve productivity, and enhance the attendee experience. Anca emphasizes the importance of learning and embracing AI to stay competitive.

We also touch on the fear of stepping out of one's comfort zone and the need to adapt to the changing landscape of technology.

Takeaways

  • AI tools like ChatGPT can save time and improve productivity in event planning and management.
  • Learning and embracing AI is essential to stay competitive in the industry.
  • AI can be used to generate interview questions, automate proposal generation, and extract information from LinkedIn profiles.
  • Stepping out of one's comfort zone and adapting to new technologies is crucial for success in the future.
  • Using AI in event planning can enhance the attendee experience and make events more engaging and interactive.

ello and welcome back to not the same

1:04

as last year so I promised last week

1:07

that this episode would be all about

1:09

artificial intelligence in events and

1:11

how it will help improve a attendee

1:14

experience but to be honest I don't

1:16

think we're quite there yet I have been

1:19

mcing a few events this year obviously

1:22

and in fact in every single one

1:24

regardless of the industry there has

1:26

been at least one session on AI And yet

1:29

when when I talk to the people running

1:31

the events the event organizers

1:33

themselves most of them are barely using

1:36

it whether it is because they think they

1:38

don't have time to learn about it or

1:40

they are afraid of it or there isn't

1:42

even a policy to implement AI within

1:44

their organizational structure whatever

1:47

it's not being used so today I think we

1:49

need to start a little bit earlier we

1:51

need to talk about how AI can help us

1:54

event professionals to save time and

1:57

improve our processes so my goal for

2:00

this episode is to make you excited

2:02

about Ai and how it can help you do a

2:05

better and more efficient job which will

2:07

then give you the time back to enable

2:09

you to be more creative and make your

2:12

events better for your attendees now I'm

2:15

excited by Ai and its potential but I am

2:18

still only dabbling myself and I've

2:20

still got a lot to learn and try so I've

2:23

asked someone far more knowledgeful on

2:25

the impact of AI and events to join me

2:28

Anor platon trean is the founder of the

2:31

event production company tree fan events

2:33

she has her own amazing podcast

2:36

demystifying events and if that's not

2:38

enough she's also an award-winning

2:40

bodybuilder and weight training coach

2:42

she's really committed to merging event

2:44

production with wellness and Technology

2:47

to really enhance the event experience

2:49

and indeed to sharing her knowledge with

2:51

others so we're very lucky to be able to

2:53

speak to her today and I started by

2:55

asking her why she has found AI so easy

2:59

to get into when I first started in

3:01

event Productions 20 something years ago

3:03

it's because I was very much embedded

3:05

into into technology and I it starts

3:08

from as early as like fifth grade I kid

3:11

you not when uh when I first uh went

3:14

into a comp computer uh science class in

3:17

middle school and we were the first

3:20

generation on the internet and we had

3:23

the internet to ourselves there was no

3:27

boundaries there's no rules I mean we're

3:29

kind kind of like free and wild and some

3:32

of it was good some of it not so good

3:34

right but I was always diving into

3:37

whatever the newest thing was the newest

3:39

technology and that has kind of been the

3:42

journey the story of my life so when you

3:45

know AI kind of became on the next thing

3:49

came on the scenes um

3:51

2022 is when we know of chpt coming out

3:55

and everybody was like oh my gosh what

3:57

is this thing right but actually AI

3:59

algorithms have been used by businesses

4:01

like think of Amazon if you think of

4:03

your uh patterns what you shop what you

4:06

listen to uh what you watch all of that

4:09

is dictated by AI algorithms in the

4:12

background right so it's not a New

4:13

Concept however for a lot of us on the

4:15

front end it was kind of new when CHP

4:18

came out and we started interacting with

4:21

this large language model that could

4:23

give us answers like you would be

4:25

talking to a human right so um it wasn't

4:28

anything different for for me than just

4:30

following the technology and seeing

4:33

where it leads and when I saw that this

4:35

is a big deal in the way we interact the

4:37

way it's going to change our processes

4:39

and the way it's going to change the way

4:40

we work create workflows and the way we

4:43

plan events the way we Market them I was

4:45

all in I'm like I'm going straight in

4:48

because this is going to definitely to

4:50

use the CHP most used uh word

4:55

revolutionize our future right so um

4:59

that was a no brainer for me to just

5:01

dive straight in and it's funny because

5:03

I find myself me and a lot of other

5:06

others that we use words that CH GPT

5:09

uses a lot but now we use it in our

5:11

everyday conversations and I laugh at

5:13

myself because there's words that I've

5:15

never used before right like

5:16

revolutionize dwell more over further

5:19

more dive all those things that now we

5:22

we speak like an

5:24

llm I know and I'm having to catch

5:27

myself because obviously I Ed it a lot

5:30

to help me phrase something or start me

5:32

off sometimes when I'm getting a bit of

5:34

a creative mind block and then I want to

5:36

turn it into my own thing and I think

5:39

I've done that and then I'm reading a

5:41

script and I'm oh no there's a lot of

5:43

diving and dwelling going on there I

5:45

didn't I know I kind of cringe I think

5:48

gosh there's some episodes I've probably

5:50

recorded already where I've put a bit of

5:51

diving and dwelling in um so yeah we do

5:54

have to we have to be careful I think

5:57

though I'm using it and I think oh look

5:58

at everyone's using it and there still

6:00

not people still are frightened of it

6:02

and I am not someone who is like you

6:04

doing it in Computer Sciences school I

6:05

was the one oh gosh no I'm not going to

6:07

do that I'll learn at some stage and

6:10

I've picked it up this year and I think

6:12

particularly maybe those of us who run

6:14

our own businesses we're using it

6:15

because it's such a shortcut it's such a

6:18

shortcut and it saves so much time and

6:20

so much money when you should be doing

6:22

something else and you're wasting time

6:23

trying to phrase something and the

6:25

language model will help you but within

6:27

event planning in a in a in a company

6:30

and budgets are tight things that being

6:33

a to do so much more with so much less

6:36

this is going to make their lives just

6:38

nicer isn't it so much easier absolutely

6:41

I'm using chpd and I feel like for the

6:43

most of us it's quite a common tool to

6:48

use nowadays if it's not maybe you

6:51

should get on it cuz you don't want to

6:53

be miles behind because even chpt as

6:57

they're constantly up updating and

6:58

upgrading their product they're going to

7:00

get into AI agents and other

7:03

infrastructures and other workflows that

7:05

if you don't start from point A to kind

7:08

of get an idea of how this all works you

7:11

might get so many light years behind

7:13

that it's going to be so intimidated to

7:14

want to try so that being said where I

7:18

see AI especially Beyond chpt really

7:21

help event planning event management

7:23

event sourcing is the use of AI agents

7:27

what does that mean it's not just one

7:29

tool like Chad GPT that can repurpose

7:32

your content or sped out different

7:34

versions of the same pitch that you're

7:37

going to send to multiple stakeholders

7:39

for say a talk or maybe an event that

7:42

you want to get sponsorship for or maybe

7:45

an audience engagement piece that you're

7:47

trying to make it more interactive and

7:49

you're like o act as somebody like an

7:51

Entertainer or act like a com comedian

7:54

or act like Claire Forester that knows

7:56

how to un see events like something like

7:59

that right

7:59

it's going to be more where you have one

8:02

task and then you give it the

8:04

instructions of what this one task is

8:06

and let's say it's planning an event but

8:08

it's more than just planning an event

8:10

there's multiple steps and checklists

8:12

that you have to go through as you're

8:15

planning this one event right so we're

8:17

talking from pre-event engagement to

8:20

sponsorships to Enga to agenda building

8:23

to uh maybe having some kind of

8:26

interaction or maybe some uh kyot

8:29

speakers that will really grab the

8:30

attention MC's um all the way post event

8:33

to Gathering surveys and we're not even

8:36

talking about sourcing the right space

8:38

the right venue the right vendors the

8:39

right event uh Partners all of that so

8:41

you have this list of things that you

8:43

know you have to accomplish and you're

8:45

like okay I'm one person I got to do it

8:47

all I probably need like I don't know uh

8:50

nine months 16 months to get this all

8:53

done nowadays if you're going to get uh

8:56

this AI agents to work on your behalf

8:58

because you know how to use it and you

9:00

know how to implement into your

9:01

processes and your workflows you're

9:03

going to give it the task this is my

9:05

event this is what we're trying to

9:06

accomplish this is the vision this is

9:08

the why all the things that normally you

9:10

would as you're planning an event and

9:12

then you're going to see your AI agents

9:13

literally do the work for you all the

9:16

way from sourcing uh venues sending rfps

9:19

out getting your room blocks negotiating

9:22

prices getting the right Partners to uh

9:25

be part of the event getting the right

9:26

sponsors to be part of the event all the

9:28

way to the end where you're going to CT

9:31

capture um surveys and then repurpose

9:34

the content that you capture during the

9:35

event so you have that engagement

9:37

throughout the year right so this is

9:39

like the job of all of those AI agents

9:42

they work for you now if you're someone

9:45

that has low resources or maybe doesn't

9:48

have access to a

9:51

multi-million doll budget and a large

9:54

team that can do a lot of those things

9:56

for you why would you say no to a tool

10:00

that can get you so far ahead and it's

10:03

not hard like that's why my purpose has

10:05

been to provide a lot of education and

10:07

valuable content to the event industry

10:10

through my courses through the free live

10:12

streams that I do through the podcast

10:14

there's a lot of information you just

10:15

want to be willing to take advantage of

10:18

it I think it's that what puts people

10:20

off isn't it it's the where to start

10:21

that you said that I meet a lot of

10:23

people who are who are solopreneurs and

10:25

they'll say yeah I'm going to do that

10:26

next month I've just got a lot to do

10:28

this month and then I'm going to do do

10:29

that and you're like it's it's like this

10:31

will help you do what you need to do

10:33

this month you're just going to be brave

10:34

enough I think maybe to take yourself

10:36

out of the business for a few days and

10:38

just put your heads down and like like

10:40

you did when you were studying at Uni or

10:42

school and just go have to learn this AI

10:45

it's not hard my goodness CLA can do it

10:47

anyone can do it you should make a

10:49

purpose intent to say today I'm going to

10:52

learn something new and if I have 20

10:54

minutes to assign for that learning then

10:56

do it or you know your time spent on a

10:59

couch watching Netflix How about you

11:01

assign that time to something that will

11:04

Propel your career further and your

11:06

skill set for if you are in a job or

11:10

career or something where AI can

11:13

easily replace you it's time to up level

11:16

your skills and I'm serious and it's not

11:19

a some kind of a warning it's more like

11:21

this is where the future is going so you

11:23

don't want to be left behind you don't

11:25

want to be the last person to find out

11:27

oh my goodness my position just got um

11:31

removed replaced and that's happened a

11:33

lot especially with a lot of the tech

11:35

Giants because I was too complacent to

11:38

learn what I needed to learn when it was

11:40

the right time to learn it like to the

11:43

analogy with driving the car versus

11:44

flying an airplane you know but there is

11:46

a fear and I think that's an instinctive

11:47

thing I call this podcast not the same

11:49

as last year because it's so easy in a

11:52

way to not get out of your comfort zone

11:54

to get your Google Docs out that you've

11:56

always used and your little spreadsheets

11:58

and just go through through well this is

12:00

how we've always done it why am I going

12:02

to do it differently and they that's

12:03

with every aspect of planning so you

12:06

know AI I also want to talk about that

12:09

idea that everything we want to do is to

12:11

put the attendee first and ultimately if

12:13

you're going to put the attendee first

12:14

you're going to do the best that you can

12:15

you're going to do the most modern the

12:17

most exciting the things that they're

12:18

doing there's no point just saying oh

12:20

we've got a session on AI in our event

12:22

which happens and then you've not used

12:26

you know how many times clear it's

12:27

happened where like oh we have a poll

12:30

we've covered the interaction the

12:32

engagement part of the stock know I know

12:36

I know it's oh oh we' we've got it we've

12:38

made our sessions 30 minutes we've got

12:40

it

12:42

like and then you're throwing the baby

12:44

out with a bath water aren't you because

12:45

actually your session doesn't need to be

12:47

30 minutes long if it's really

12:49

interactive really interesting session

12:50

exactly does have to be but it's yeah

12:53

and this is it I think we are battling

12:55

that I understand the going out of your

12:59

comfort zone I understand the fear but

13:01

let's just go back all the way where

13:03

like when the calculators came out like

13:07

calculators that we don't even use

13:08

anymore because they're on our phones

13:10

right but when it first came out there

13:12

was this whole fear in the basically in

13:15

the education space that Educators and

13:19

teachers and professors are go are going

13:22

to be replaced by this one calculator

13:25

that now could do the job of teaching

13:27

people how to do equation ience and

13:31

aggressive math right did that happen no

13:35

it became a tool where we were way

13:38

faster at making those calculations that

13:42

otherwise would have taken you know all

13:45

what it's not just 1 plus one equals two

13:47

right so going with that analogy to our

13:49

present to how AI is really enhancing a

13:53

lot of the processes a lot of the

13:54

workflows that we do that's just a tool

13:58

now it's still required

13:59

at least in our time and space right now

14:03

a human to dictate which direction what

14:07

output what kind of outcome are you

14:09

looking for right we're not yet yet in

14:11

the AGI space we're going to get there

14:14

but if we get there and you haven't even

14:16

tried the narrow AI opportunities that

14:20

we're experiencing right now when we

14:23

have this super

14:27

intelligent whatever

14:30

taking over a lot of those processes

14:33

you're not going to be able to keep up

14:35

to understand how this works and where

14:37

are you going to fit yourself into that

14:40

whole picture so my I guess

14:43

encouragement is start small whatever

14:46

you are if this is your first time

14:48

hearing Chad GPT be curious to find out

14:51

what it is what it could do for you

14:53

there is a lot of free education on

14:55

prompting actually I have on my own

14:57

profile on LinkedIn several videos that

15:00

I have put uh as LinkedIn live

15:03

educational um videos where you can

15:07

learn how to prompt chat GPT properly so

15:09

you can get the output that you want

15:11

because then there's also this thing

15:13

where well I go and I try it and oh this

15:15

is so to terrible because you don't know

15:17

how to prompt it because you don't know

15:20

what you're looking for as an output so

15:22

you're going to get kind of like trash

15:23

in trash out that's the reality right so

15:26

training yourself to learn a little bit

15:29

uh one step at a time because it takes a

15:32

bit of intentionality to want to move

15:35

with the technology to move with the

15:37

future but I in my opinion it's better

15:41

to do it now as we're you know advancing

15:44

at this space versus um one year later a

15:48

few months later I mean things are

15:50

changing really really fast I wanted to

15:52

ask you because you gave a really good

15:54

description at the beginning of the

15:56

possibility for an event planner you

15:57

know you're looking at the huge great

15:59

big event that could happen and how you

16:01

could make it happen on the simplest

16:03

level if you think what could I do

16:06

tomorrow that will immediately make my

16:07

life quicker as an event planner I think

16:10

the simplest way to get into all of this

16:13

is really to give it a try right right

16:16

now any browser on your computer that

16:19

you're going to install has some form of

16:22

AI uh enabler right so if this is uh

16:26

Microsoft they will have Bing if this is

16:29

Google they have Gemini so you have it

16:31

at your fingerprints you don't even have

16:33

to have per se chpt premium to go and

16:36

use it right even though chpt has been

16:39

kind of the first one to come out in a

16:41

very um intentional manner to change the

16:45

way we interact with llms um I would

16:49

start there I would go and input like

16:51

let's get let's take an example player

16:53

uh say for this podcast you were hey I

16:56

want to have this conversation with Anka

16:58

I'm Cur I'm kind of like I want to know

17:00

what I'm going to ask her but I would

17:01

actually like to um generate a few extra

17:05

questions on this particular topic that

17:07

we're going to uncover today and I need

17:10

some help so you literally would go to

17:12

chpd or whatever form of AI that you

17:15

have embedded into your browser if you

17:17

don't have chpd um as a subscription

17:21

whatever and you would ask okay um act

17:24

as a podcast Host this is my guest this

17:27

is what we're going to talk about um

17:29

generate a couple of extra more uh

17:31

questions or some ice breakers right for

17:34

this conversation we're going to have or

17:36

some interesting trivia facts about the

17:40

event industry that we're going to

17:41

sprinkle throughout the conversation

17:42

just to make it more engaging

17:44

interactive or whatever right um sure

17:47

you might have access in your head to

17:49

all of that information but let me tell

17:51

you I bad that you have a limited supply

17:55

of that so then you're using your AI

17:59

assistant to give you more input let's

18:01

say you're planning an event and you're

18:03

like I'm running out of idea because we

18:04

used to do the same team every year and

18:06

people are kind of tired of this Western

18:08

theme and they're kind of tired of this

18:10

Cowboy theme and kind of tired of this

18:11

like doing the same thing again and

18:13

again right I W to do something

18:15

different now you have some information

18:18

related to your van you want to again

18:20

prompt your llm your

18:23

AI help helpful agent in some way so you

18:27

can start with a common knowledge of

18:30

what you're trying to accomplish because

18:32

you could go with zero point prompting

18:34

which just means hey give me some ideas

18:36

for some events that I could plan and

18:38

you're going to get a very wide range

18:41

that some of it might be applicable some

18:43

of it might be like yeah there's no way

18:45

we're not going to doing a Barbie team

18:48

event or whatever right so if you have

18:51

some information based on the history of

18:52

the events that you've done you have

18:53

some analytics some data that you can

18:55

pull off now you actually can really be

18:59

tactical and strategic in your searches

19:01

in your prompting so you can get an

19:03

output an outcome that is relevant to

19:07

what you're searching right and I

19:08

promise you I mean I'm sure both me and

19:10

you have done this many times over just

19:12

in the way we you know we want to just

19:14

bring something different to our events

19:16

to our speaking engagement to our

19:17

podcast conversations and there's so

19:21

much opportunity out there beyond your

19:23

own capacity being in the AV production

19:26

business I get clients all the time

19:28

coming with literally two pieces of

19:31

information when they're asking about

19:32

can you generate a proposal for me or a

19:35

or a quote how much would it cost to do

19:37

this event and then that's it so I don't

19:41

have a date I don't have uh any

19:44

information about what kind of a are we

19:46

looking for I don't have any information

19:48

about your location uh audience size uh

19:52

agenda none of it right and then we just

19:55

go back and forth back and forth like to

19:56

find all of this now I was like you know

19:58

what I normally have a list of questions

20:01

that it's kind of like a screening form

20:04

that when I have a conversation with a

20:05

client I would ask them all of those

20:07

questions so then when I send them that

20:10

proposal like initial estimate it hits

20:13

on their specific needs right so I was

20:17

like okay here's the questions that I

20:18

normally ask now dear Chad GPD helpful

20:22

helpful um assistant can you put this in

20:26

a format that is easy to read simplify

20:29

it basically uh make it concise and

20:31

straightforward and I got a form

20:34

generated that it turned into a lant

20:37

article but again who came with all of

20:39

the knowledge yeah behind it right

20:42

that's what I think a lot of people get

20:43

sort of like turn off by oh I don't want

20:46

to use chat GPT because it's cheating is

20:48

it really because as far as I'm

20:50

concerned every piece of article every

20:52

piece of blog post it has come from my

20:55

knowledge and let me tell you as a

20:57

English as a second language speaker

20:59

because uh I grew up in Romania that's

21:02

my native language to me this has been

21:05

like the blessing of them all blessings

21:07

because sometimes even after 20

21:09

something years in us and 30 years of

21:12

speaking English I don't always get the

21:15

you know specifics of the English

21:19

grammar this is helpful to me like now I

21:22

can sound like a Sant even though I'm

21:24

like I can barely speak English well

21:27

don't worry as you get older anyway

21:28

forget all the languages you know

21:30

sometimes I don't get information

21:32

exactly like you as a supplier I get a

21:34

request for your fees for some event

21:37

with no detail around it exactly and

21:39

then you're trying to get them into a

21:40

call and a lot of people don't want to

21:41

do calls because they're busy a lot of

21:43

people want to just do it on an email

21:45

and you're wasting so much time so

21:47

absolutely that form you suggest and I'm

21:49

going to steal that idea it it's just

21:53

helps you and I think also with me one

21:55

of the biggest things I don't get a lot

21:56

of information in time you've got

21:58

another event on another subject and

22:00

you're still trying to get the BIOS from

22:01

the speakers to put together your

22:02

engines and you get this bio that's

22:05

terrible that's been written ages have a

22:08

helpful tool for that um this AI agent

22:10

that I was using and deploying into

22:12

event planning that again I'm teaching

22:13

on during my course literally would

22:17

would go to the LinkedIn profile of this

22:19

one speaker that you're trying to uh beg

22:23

them to send you their bio and it will

22:26

pull all the relevant information from

22:28

their profile and rewrite it in a

22:31

paragraph bardine is one of the tools

22:33

that I use for that so A simple uh

22:36

example there is say that you have a

22:38

really cool post on something there's a

22:40

lot of Engagement and now You' be

22:42

interested to know who those people are

22:44

and maybe interact with them uh on a you

22:46

know more personal way because they

22:48

could be leads for you right so this

22:51

automation that you can build in bardine

22:53

would literally go to that one post and

22:56

then take all of those people and all of

22:59

their comments and their LinkedIn

23:00

profile their information in you know

23:03

including email and everything they they

23:05

have posted publicly on the LinkedIn

23:07

profile and extract it into a

23:09

spreadsheet so next time you take that

23:11

spreadsheet and now the next step could

23:13

be part of the same automation to draft

23:16

a personalized email to each one of

23:19

those then have it sit in your draft in

23:22

your email uh box so that you can review

23:25

it again you should always review what

23:27

an llm does

23:29

and then send it out that's amazing not

23:32

automatically tools are

23:35

available knowledge is available but you

23:39

have to want to learn either how to use

23:43

it how to implement it or if it's even

23:45

for

23:46

you yeah I mean that what you're saying

23:49

there you know I think oh I'm so clever

23:51

I do this I save my LinkedIn posts and I

23:53

go through them and I make a story but

23:54

you know that's the next level and

23:56

that's the next level and that's using

23:57

the automation which I'm thinking I

23:59

don't know how to do that but because

24:00

I've done a little bit of AI I'm

24:02

thinking okay that's that's something

24:04

that I could learn to do if I can do

24:06

something more effectively more

24:08

productively um it is a win for me

24:11

because aside from my pro professional

24:14

Endeavors I also have personal goals

24:17

that take time right like when I'm in

24:19

the gym working out for an hour and a

24:21

half every single day six days a week

24:23

because I have a goal to compete in this

24:26

next bodybuilding show

24:29

I need to find time for that I don't

24:32

have more than 24 hours like everyone

24:34

else and I really really like my sleep

24:35

to

24:36

be recharging and uh recovering and good

24:40

so I don't I don't cut any uh steps and

24:44

any uh Corners when it comes to my sleep

24:47

so if I can gain you know extra hours in

24:50

my day from sleep then I have to gain

24:53

them somewhere else so then if I can

24:56

improve my processes and become more

24:58

productive and more effective and now I

25:00

have an hour and a half two hours at my

25:03

disposal every single day so I can go

25:05

into the gym and do the things that I

25:07

want to do personally then I don't know

25:09

what to tell you but to me that's such a

25:11

hard sell you can convince me not to do

25:14

it because I'm like it's in my advantage

25:16

you

25:17

know yeah it's the personal impact that

25:20

AI is having as well well you know

25:21

you're a total proponent for using it I

25:24

love that and I I think people will have

25:28

got got something out of this even if

25:29

they thought they knew how to use Ai and

25:32

maybe at the beginning when we were

25:33

talking and we were saying get in now

25:35

when it's early I think you proved

25:36

there's just so much that we are

25:39

literally nibbling at the possibilities

25:41

at the moment absolutely and have a lot

25:45

of resources that are free on my

25:47

LinkedIn profile my YouTube pages and

25:50

then if you want to take a little step

25:51

uh you know forward and put a little bit

25:53

of investment behind it then I have

25:56

courses that really tackle different

25:58

aspects of the event planning of the

26:00

business running of uh of events as well

26:02

because I'm a a business owner as well

26:04

so for me as much as it's important to

26:06

know how to use AI in events it's also

26:08

very much important to know how to use

26:10

AI in my everyday business operations

26:12

and processes right so there's multiple

26:14

things that you can do now I would start

26:18

with small steps pick one tool that you

26:21

feel like you're going to be most likely

26:22

to use it and then learn more about it

26:25

like learn how to prompt it correctly

26:27

learn how to use use it in your everyday

26:30

workflow right to figure out if that's

26:32

something that you can take it at on a

26:33

larger scale because again when you're

26:35

planning an event you also have a lot of

26:37

stakeholders that you got to talk to you

26:39

want to be able to give them a good

26:41

report but if you use it in a small ways

26:44

and then you're confident enough to use

26:46

it in larger ways it's just it's just

26:48

going to happen automatically you no

26:50

longer have to fear that it's going to I

26:53

don't know mess up your event somehow

26:55

somewhere yeah because you're always

26:56

going in and checking it as well as

26:58

you're going through it just as you

26:59

would be with maybe a junior member of

27:02

your team you would be double checking

27:03

before you agreed it I'm going to try

27:05

all these different things it's really

27:07

exciting thank you so much because I'm

27:09

there's so much there for people who are

27:11

just getting their toe in the water and

27:12

how they can make their event better for

27:16

them which is ultimately going to mean

27:17

they've got all the time to make it

27:18

better for the attendee which is what

27:20

it's all about which it makes it all

27:21

better for us both on the supplier

27:24

partner side or the attendee side yeah

27:27

so that was great well n it so much from

27:29

Anka there to get us started on our AI

27:31

journey in event and I will make sure

27:34

that we share all the information that

27:36

she has given us and all about how to

27:38

get hold of her and how to get on to her

27:39

courses on the show notes I'd love to

27:42

hear how you're getting on with your AI

27:44

Journey how it's helping you in events

27:46

so do drop me a line either on social

27:49

media or via my website and tell me how

27:52

you're using it and also join us next

27:55

week where we're going to be talking

27:57

about the panel is it time to retire the

28:01

event panel I look forward to seeing you
