🤖 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer science fiction or limited to IT companies. It's actively used across various fields — from medicine to marketing. Today, it's increasingly being applied in event planning. Not just as a trend, but as a real tool that saves time, money, and effort, and most importantly — makes events more convenient and engaging for guests.
Let’s explore how AI is already helping event planners — and what lies ahead.

💬 1. Chatbots and Virtual Assistants
AI-powered chatbots are the perfect solution for communicating with participants before, during, and after the event.
📌 Capabilities:
✔️ Answer frequently asked questions (venue, time, agenda).
✔️ Provide directions and parking info.
✔️ Send reminders and notifications.
✔️ Redirect to the appropriate organizer.
Example: Telegram or WhatsApp chatbots that guide attendees throughout the event, reminding them when a session or talk starts.
Bonus: They work 24/7, never get tired, and reduce the load on your team.

🎯 2. Program Personalization
AI algorithms can analyze participant interests — via registration forms, past event data, or in-app behavior — and recommend a personalized agenda.
📌 Benefits:
✔️ Guests get relevant content, not an overwhelming schedule.
✔️ Engagement and experience improve.
✔️ Easier to manage traffic flow and avoid crowding.
Example: If a participant shows interest in digital marketing, the system suggests related workshops, networking, and panels.
