AI for Event Project Managers
AI is changing event planning — but event managers need practical guidance, not hype.
AI for Event Project Managers shows how to use artificial intelligence to support planning, budgeting, supplier communication, marketing, risk management, delegate experience, and post-event follow-up.
Written from more than 35 years of real conference, live event, and technical production experience, this book explains where AI can genuinely help event professionals — and where human judgement still matters most.
Inside you’ll discover:
How to use AI for clearer event planning
How to create better briefs, timelines, and checklists
Ways to improve supplier and client communication
How to spot risks and planning gaps earlier
Practical uses for AI in marketing and delegate emails
Where AI helps — and where human judgement still matters
