Event planning is fast paced, detail heavy, and complex. There is a lot that goes into getting an event off the ground. With AI tools becoming more readily available, event planners and organisers are using them to streamline tasks, personalise experiences, and improve ROI. 

We’ve rounded up a selection of AI tools that every corporate event planner should know about. 

Smarter Scheduling and Agenda Creation

Tools: 

  • x.ai – An AI scheduling assistant that finds the best meeting times across multiple calendars, helping you avoid endless email back-and-forth.
  • Bizzabo – An event platform with AI-driven agenda suggestions and smart session scheduling based on attendee interests.

Using AI assistants to help coordinate speaker sessions, panels, and meetings will save you a lot of time. These AI tools can suggest agenda structures based on attendee data or event type. They’re great for both internal planning and attendee experience. 

The outcome? A smoother event flow, fewer scheduling conflicts, and a better overall experience for attendees and speakers.

Personalised Attendee Experiences

Tools: 

  • Brella – AI-powered matchmaking that helps attendees book 1:1 meetings based on shared goals or interests.
  • Grip – Recommends people, sessions, and exhibitors attendees should meet based on behaviour and profile data.

AI-powered matching helps attendees connect with the right people. These tools are great for networking-heavey or lead-gen focused events. They can personalise content and comms before, during, and after your event. 

The outcome? More engaged attendees, stronger networking opportunities, and better lead generation for your business.

AI Chatbots for Guest Communication

Tools: 

  • Intercom – AI chat that integrates with your event site or app to instantly answer common attendee questions.
  • Zowie – An AI chatbot designed to automate FAQs, ticketing, and event logistics support.

Using AI chatbots is a helpful way to automate things you don’t need to spend a lot of time on. You can do this for FAQs, registration support, and logistical questions. It will help reduce your team’s workload so your team can focus on running the event.

The outcome? Faster response times for guests and less manual work for your team.

Real-Time Feedback and Post-Event Insights

Tools: 

  • Typeform + GPT – Collects responses through conversational forms and uses AI to summarise feedback and key themes.
  • Zonka Feedback – Gathers event feedback and uses AI to surface sentiment trends and areas for improvement.
  • SurveySparrow – Offers automated surveys and AI-powered feedback reporting.

Feedback is so important when it comes to understanding how your event has gone. To gather insights, look to use AI tools that can collect and analyse attendee feedback instantly. AI can identify themes, sentiment, and key areas for improvement. 

The outcome? Clear, actionable insights to improve future events and report meaningful results to leadership.

Creative Content Made Easy

Tools: 

  • Canva Magic Studio – Helps you create branded banners, signage, and social graphics with AI-powered templates.
  • Adobe Firefly – Generates visual assets from text prompts, making it easy to create creative content on the fly.

Using AI to help generate designs is a no brainer if you don’t have a design team. It will take a bit of time to refine your prompts so you get what you need, but once you have those locked down, you’ll be able to generate banners, signage, social graphics, and presentation slides with ease. 

The outcome? On-brand event materials created faster and with less effort.

Automated Content and Copy Creation

Tools: 

  • ChatGPT – Generates event copy like emails, session descriptions, and social posts based on your prompts.
  • Jasper / Copy.ai – AI-powered writing platforms that help you draft marketing copy quickly.

If you need to write event emails, create landing pages, social media posts, or draft session descriptions, using AI to do that can save you  a lot of time. Make sure you give everything a good read before pressing send or posting to make sure it’s on brand. 

The outcome? Faster content creation and more consistent pre-event communication.

Smarter Email Campaigns

Tools: 

  • Seventh Sense – Optimises email send times for each recipient to boost open rates and engagement.
  • Instantly.ai – Automates outreach campaigns with personalised sending schedules and follow-up reminders.

You may need to send a lot of comms in the lead up to your event and once it wraps up. Use AI to personalise send times and content delivery. 

The outcome? Better attendance rates and stronger engagement before, during, and after the event.

Project Management on Autopilot

Tools: 

  • Notion AI – Builds task lists, timelines, and meeting notes from your planning sessions.
  • Clickup AI – Suggests due dates, assigns tasks, and tracks event prep progress automatically.

Keep on top of your event by using AI to manage your project. You can have it auto-generate task lists, timelines, and updates based on your event. 

The outcome? Fewer missed deadlines and a more streamlined planning process.

AI isn’t here to replace planners. It’s here to make your job easier, faster, and more strategic.
