Fireside Chat: Practical AI for Event Professionals
Fireside Chat: Practical AI for Event Professionals
Behind the Experience Collective — Monthly Series 🗓️ Wednesday, 10 June 2026 ⏰ 4:00 PM (GMT+1) 📍 Live online
AI has moved from buzzword to backstage crew member — and for event professionals, the real question isn't whether to use it, but where it actually earns its place in your workflow.
This month's fireside chat brings two leading voices in the events community together for an honest, practical conversation about the tools, prompts and habits that are already changing the way we work — and the ones that aren't worth your time.
What we'll dig into
→ How event professionals are using AI today to reclaim hours from briefs, recaps, agendas, attendee comms and the long tail of admin → Smarter, faster reporting — turning event data into stories sponsors and stakeholders actually read → Scaling operations without scaling headcount — what AI makes genuinely possible, and what it doesn't → A lighter look at the experience side: where AI is starting to enhance the attendee and delegate journey, from personalisation to in-event interaction → Live Q&A — bring the messiest part of your workflow
Your guests
Valentina — Founder of Beyond the Event and The Pie Network. A long-time builder of event communities, focused on what happens before, between and after the show.
Lucy — author of Practical AI: Gen AI for Creative, Event and Experiential, and one of the clearest voices on how event professionals can actually put generative AI to work.
Your host
Francisco Opazo — Head of Growth & Ecosystem at Eventify and the convener of Behind the Experience Collective.
Walk away with
→ A short list of AI workflows you can apply to your next event → A clearer sense of where to start (and where to stop) → Prompts, tools and frameworks shared live during the session → A recording, in case the day runs away from you
Whether you're AI-curious or already deep in the prompt mines, this one's for you.
