A safe space for event professionals • 8.3K Members

inControl is a safe, no-fluff space for event professionals who actually run events, not just talk about them. It’s where event professionals, technologists, marketers, venues and agencies share what really works, ask hard questions, and compare scars without the noise of self-promotion, cold pitches or "thought leadership" theatre.

The End of Random Networking: Designing Better Connections in Events with AI

AI in events is often discussed in abstract terms, but matchmaking is one of the areas where outcomes are measurable. The relevant questions are straightforward: Do participants get to meaningful conversations faster? Do exhibitors spend less time chasing irrelevant leads? Do meetings convert into follow-ups?

Everyone Says AI is Expensive. Is That Really True?

The perception that AI is too expensive for event organizers doesn't match the reality of implementation costs versus savings. Modern AI tools integrated into event platforms can reduce marketing waste by 30-50%, eliminate thousands in website development costs, and replace temporary staffing expenses while delivering better results. For most events, the question isn't whether AI is affordable, but whether continuing without it is becoming the more expensive choice.

Everyone Says AI is Expensive. Is That Really True?
**AI implementation in events isn't expensive—it's the inefficiency of avoiding it that costs more.**
