Joining Smart Meetings for a Live Webinar on AI and Innovation

Challenging event leaders to be the event innovator, not the one disrupted.

The age of AI is here in full. And for event professionals, the question is no longer whether to adapt—it’s whether to lead or be left behind.

Smart Meetings is bringing together three of the industry’s sharpest voices to tackle that question head-on. Joining the conversation is Brent Turner, EVP of Strategy & Solutions at Opus Agency, alongside Dahlia El Gazzar of DAHLIA+Agency and Event ROI Coach Vinnu Deshetty.

 

Be the Event Innovator, Not The One Disrupted

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 | 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET

The age of AI demands some irrational experimentation if you are going to lead as an event innovator rather than waiting to be the meeting prof disrupted and left behind. This dynamic conversation will challenge you to upend how you think about delivering events, from what tech stack, marketing, and communication are required to how you work, execute, and measure your activations.

You will learn:

  • What questions to ask when considering technology partners for your events

  • How to use technology to personalize experiences, making them more human

  • Strategies for courageously testing and iterating
