Artificial Intelligence is redefining how we plan, execute, and measure events. In this dynamic keynote, Colja Dams, Co-CEO of VOK DAMS, one of the world’s leading event agencies, takes you on a journey into the power of AI: boosting efficiency, unlocking data-driven insights, and creating truly unforgettable experiences. How can AI fuel creativity instead of replacing it? How do we avoid the „Age of Average“ and stand out in an increasingly competitive market? Using real-world case studies and innovative methods like the „Hamburger Model,“ Colja will showcase how AI is not just a tool, but a gamechanger for the entire industry.

For decades, the event industry has thrived on human connection — the handshakes, the shared coffee breaks, the late-night conversations no algorithm can replace. And yet, the tiger is roaring. AI is here, and many veterans see it as a threat: to jobs, to traditions, to the very essence of what makes events human. This panel does not shy away from those fears. It brings them to the surface — openly, honestly, without pretense. Together, we’ll ask the uncomfortable questions: Is AI endangering the craft we’ve built our careers on, or can it become the tool that protects and amplifies it?

This is the future of live captioning at events. AI captioning is fast becoming an integral part of events, that doesn't mean to say it's without issues or problems. Using both human and AI captioning meets the need to balance quality with budget.
