A new AI capability that delivers analysis-ready Media Intelligence. More than just a product launch, this is a shift in how communications teams monitor, understand and act on media coverage.
This is the home of the Event Tech Brief email newsletter. It was developed with three goals in mind: to assist event producers tasked with understanding the technology that powers events, create a neutral, no spin zone where the technology can be dissected and reviewed, and deliver the information that the event community needs to move events into the future.
Every issue will contain articles about new event-industry technology, but we won’t stop there. Event Tech Brief will also give you resources and tools for decision-making and fill you in on what it’s like to implement the solutions in the event environment.
This publication is and always will be a reflection of where events need to go. We will look beyond events to see what we can bring from the outside in. We’ll look at trade shows, meetings, conferences, festivals and public exhibitions to see what can be cross-pollinated across the industry. Source

It presents frequent panel discussions on the topic at industry meetings and openly expresses disdain for non-gender diverse speaker panels. Many industry leaders rank the creation of diverse and inclusive events and organizations as not only a priority but a moral imperative. However, hiring for diversity remains a challenge. New technology may provide a solution.
