Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the events industry, enabling planners to automate mundane tasks and focus on creating more personalised and engaging experiences. In the first of our four-part blog series collaboration with Hire Space, we look at how AI is helping creativity come to the fore for event planners.

Like so many aspects of event planning, the way in which people find and book venues for their events is evolving fast.
