About

AI is reshaping how events are imagined, delivered and measured. As the conversation accelerates, it’s becoming harder to separate meaningful change from noise.

At Cvent CONNECT 2025, Cvent CEO and Founder Reggie Aggarwal challenged the industry to look beyond the headlines and rethink events as a driver of growth. One year on, revisit that vision and explore how it’s evolving.

Drawing on global trends and real-world experience, Reggie shares how expectations around events are shifting, what AI means in practice for teams today, and how to strike the right balance between efficiency and experience.

Learning outcomes:

Leave with a clear perspective on where to focus and how to move forward with confidence.
