Webinar: Dissecting the ChatGPT/Generative AI Disruption: Use Cases, Concerns, Threats & Opportunities for Event Profs

The explosive adoption of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools brings enormous opportunities and challenges for all industries, events included. Many jobs will be eliminated, many will be made vastly more efficient, and most will evolve in a significant capacity. Much like the pandemic and pivot to virtual events, this disruption will have winners (those who lean in, embrace the change & adapt) & losers (those who choose to ignore it). Join us as we break down the top AI use cases for event profs, address broader shifts and implications for our industry, and explore the surprisingly real possibility (put forth by Elon Musk among many other luminaries) that AI will lead to the extinction of the human race. Yes, you read that right.

Agenda: 

• 25 Smart ways event profs can use ChatGPT & other Generative AI tools
