AI Position of the Job
AI Impact on this job
You coordinate event projects by combining creativity, operational decision-making and interpersonal relations with many stakeholders. Your work remains lightly exposed to AI, which can take on routine tasks without replacing decision-making and human facilitation.
Your activity remains lightly exposed to AI, which automates structured tasks while strategic and relational aspects remain human.
What will change
- Developing programs, agendas and budgets, for which AI can generate initial proposals and test standardized scenarios based on known constraints, as these tasks are structured and rule-based.
- Keeping records and financial items up to date, which AI can automatically consolidate, extract and classify (invoices, follow-ups, reconciliations), due to the repetitive and documentary nature of these activities.
- Evaluating and pre-selecting service providers by sorting applications and comparing formal criteria, with AI quickly processing standardized information to produce lists of relevant candidates.
What AI will improve
- Improving post-event reviews by providing feedback analyses, trends and avenues for improvement, enabling you to focus your expertise on strategic lessons.
- Optimizing planning by rapidly testing multiple logistical and budget scenarios, so you can choose and adapt the solutions best aligned with the client's needs.
- Strengthening provider selection by automating the compilation of information, drafting requests for proposals and preparing comparisons, so you can make the final decisions on quality and relational fit.
