CHS Birmingham has announced it will tackle the subject of artificial
intelligence (AI) during its midlands event later this year.
AI continues to dominate industry dialogue with CHS’s
research indicating uncertainty and fear amongst event professionals. CHS
Birmingham’s theme this year, ‘You + AI – Hype, Hope, or Headache?’, promises 'conversation, positivity, and honesty'.
“The feedback we’re getting from our community is one of
massive opportunity, underpinned with a feeling of insecurity and general
jittery-ness right now,” said Emma King, founder and CEO, CHS Birmingham.
“Everyone’s talking about AI, but not everybody has worked out what it means
for them. Anything from The Terminator, to being replaced by a bot, or just
having a sweet little digital secretary saving them hours of spreadsheet hell.
This year we’re not just going to talk about it – we’re going to poke it,
question it, and learn from it. That’s the CHS way.”
The educational programme will underscore the wider
discussion taking place across the show, exploring the impact of AI in the most
CHS way possible: direct, practical, entertaining, and relevant. Highlights
will Include:
-
Hacks & apps: a high-speed download of every app, plug-in, and tool that
might just save your job (or at least your Monday morning). No gatekeeping, no
waffle – just good tech.
-
Human vs machine: the Debate: One mic. Two sides. Can humans really outthink
the machines, or have we already handed over the keys?
- Town hall: the questions: a proper heart-to-heart with the experts. Bring your
anxiety, bring your confusion, and bring your voice – everyone gets a say.
-
Security, regulation, and legislation: oK, not the sexiest bit. But if you’re
planning events with data, delegates, and digital tools, you’ll want to know
what you’re legally responsible for. Spoiler: it’s quite a lot.
- Town hall: the answers: the experts return, armed with useful info and actual
answers to the questions raised earlier. No fluff, no sidesteps, just clarity.
“This is our industry’s moment to not pretend we’ve got it
all figured out and start figuring it out together,” King added. “CHS
Birmingham is where that starts, it’s what events are all about.” CHS Birmingham takes place at
ICC Birmingham, 28th October 25. For more information.
