​#ChallengeAccepted: AI for Event Pros: Get Your Time Back

​When you're a team of one, AI isn't there to replace you. It's there to give you back some of the time you spend on the stuff around the work, like marketing yourself, writing proposals, following up with clients, organising notes and chasing admin.

​In this fireside chat, Valentina sits down with Lucy Postlethwaite, founder of Practical AI and former senior event producer, to talk about how independent event pros are using AI day to day. No jargon and no "AI will change everything" predictions, just an honest chat about what works, what doesn't and where to start.

​Bring a task you hate doing and leave with a way to make it work harder for you. Lucy will share a few simple ways to set up repeatable tasks so you're not starting from scratch every time, and there'll be time for your questions.

​What you'll learn:

• ​Practical ways AI can help with the everyday tasks around running your events business

• ​How to use AI to save time on things like marketing, proposals, follow-ups and admin

• ​How to turn repetitive tasks into simple, repeatable AI workflows

• ​Where to start if you're not sure how AI can actually help your business

• ​What works, what doesn't and what to be mindful of when using AI

• ​How to identify one task in your own business that AI could help you streamline

​The challenge? Leave with one idea you can try this week to get some time back.

​Who this is for:

• ​Freelance event professionals and consultants

• ​Event professionals running a business or thinking about going freelance

• ​Solopreneurs and small business owners doing everything themselves

• ​Event professionals who want to spend less time on admin and more time doing the work they enjoy

• ​Anyone who feels like they should be using AI but doesn't know where to start

• ​Anyone already using AI who wants to get more useful, practical results from it
