AI is changing the event industry—but is it helping or making things harder for event planners?

Michelle Allgauer, Senior VP of Education & Engagement at the Financial Services Institute and Chair of MPI’s International Board, has been using AI in event planning. She explains in our conversation how it improves the industry while keeping events personal and unique. From automating tasks to coming up with ideas, AI is a game-changer that helps event professionals save time—if they use it the right way! 🎧 Full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coWU646dW7A&list=PLXTlGHk63lLjQL1h-JXgo9UOur5kF_wSx 📅 Let's arrange a meeting!

Feeling weighed down by stress at work? Imagine being in a company where humor and laughter are not only acceptable, but encouraged—a workplace culture that helps people connect, spark creativity, and work together to achieve their goals.

The Great Money Reset: Navigating Economic Shifts

Seth Dechtman - Keynote Speaker Expert March 6, 2025 8:00 pm

What if interactive elements could transform your event experience? Courtney Mesmer, VP of Events at WorldatWork and a visionary meeting planner, explains that the key to successful events lies in interactive elements that encourage authentic engagement. Whether it’s a friendship bracelet station at a local zoo or a themed nail bar that visually connects attendees, these activations transform passive content delivery into dynamic, peer-to-peer interactions. By crafting environments that allow both extroverts and introverts to engage in playful, low-pressure settings, events become platforms for learning, networking, and meaningful experiences: • Incorporate interactive stations (e.g., friendship bracelet or nail bar activations). 🌟 • Foster peer-to-peer conversations to boost authentic networking. 🤩 • Design activations tailored to local culture and audience preferences. 📊 • Create low-pressure environments where all attendees can engage comfortably. 😌 🎥 Watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1erTgGFdyW8&list=PLXTlGHk63lLhUq_lEU1bnM3LbQgMfwD-u 🗓️ Let’s connect!

Did you know that resource allocation under uncertainty is exactly what poker—and life—are all about? The art of poker is about transforming those risks into opportunities, and keynote speaker Caspar Berry shows us how strategically “folding” opens the door for new possibilities. From acting in the UK to becoming a professional poker player in Las Vegas, Caspar Berry’s experiences taught him a fundamental lesson: risk-taking is about knowing when to stop doing old things and invest in new opportunities. He likens every decision to folding a losing hand, emphasizing that decision-making is simply reallocating resources under uncertainty. • Recognize that stopping old habits is the first step to embracing new opportunities 🎲 • Understand that decision-making is resource allocation under uncertainty 🧠 • Embrace risk as a positive force—quitting isn’t taboo, it’s essential for growth 🔄 • Apply poker strategies to everyday challenges to achieve elite performance 💼 This mindset is not just for poker—it’s a powerful lesson for event professionals and business leaders who must constantly refresh their approach to thrive in a volatile world. 🎯 🃏 Watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToWMc-xyx6w&list=PLXTlGHk63lLhUq_lEU1bnM3LbQgMfwD-u 🙌 Hire risk-taking, poker keynote speaker Caspar Berry for your next event: https://thekeynotecurators.com/speaker/book-caspar-berry/ 🗓️ Let’s connect!

That’s the definition of a decision, according to Harvard Business School, and that’s what a poker player is doing." — Caspar Berry "For something new to start, something old [must] stop. [...] Quitting is not taboo. It’s a good positive thing." — Caspar Berry "How many times have we been to meetings with to-do lists as long as our arm? No one clears space in time, energy, or money to fund new things." — Caspar Berry --- Bringing people together to exchange ideas and hear from thought leaders who educate and inspire is what you do best.
