Download the 12-Month AI Benchmark Report
Key findings reveal that while adoption is accelerating, workforce transformation is lagging behind:
The business events industry has embraced AI, with usage increasing from 59% to 77% over 12 months
AI is accelerating outputs, but not transforming workflows
AI engagement is driven more by practicality than innovation and strategy
Commitment is not at the scale needed for current AI adoption
“Business is changing fast, but our workforce structures are not. This isn’t a future problem. It’s already showing up in how meetings and events are planned and delivered.”
