Use These 5 AI Tools to Help Plan Your Next Event!
It doesn’t matter if you’re an entertainer (DJ, Comedian, etc.) or an event planner planning events. These will help take time off your hands! And increase the crowd showing
Where do we start?
At the beginning my friend, always at the beginning.
Planning an affluent event requires strategic planning, attention to detail, and more than management — it requires real leadership.
With AI advancing every day as fast as we expect because.. well.. it’s AI.. there are intelligent people creating new software continuously that’s making your life easier. And for some reason you’re still not using it?
So, here’s a list to help streamline your next event planning creative process. If all goes well, you’ll leave here thinking “holy sh*t.”
If not, you’ll leave with a smile because writing should be fun and curious.
Eventbrite
Strengths
- User-friendly interface and intuitive
- Extensive event promotion and ticketing features
- Full-scale analytics and reporting capabilities
- Integration with different third-party platforms and tools
Weaknesses
- Limited customization options for your event website
- Higher fees for paid ticketing options
Price Point
Eventbrite offers three different plans: Flex, Pro, and Premium. Below is a screenshot of the “flex” pricing.
We hosted a local dance for an Aboriginal sports club in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada and used Eventbrite to host it. We didn’t have any issues with it. It’s the only reason it’s first on the list — it’s probably still at the top — but I didn’t want to come off biased.
Key Features
Eventbrite gives event organizers a complete suit of tools for creating, and managing events. It helps you create customized event pages, sell tickets, track registrations, and promote your event through different channels.
It’s use of analytics and reporting features are clutch when it comes to helping you measure the success of your event afterwards.

Pathable

Price Point

My favourite part is it’s ability to offer options in event website customization, and of course — it also has an app.
In Summary
When it comes to planning your next event, taking advantage of AI tools can help you connect, and build on already strong relationships. Eventbrite in our opinion, tops the list with its user-friendliness but Bizzabo and Grip aren’t far behind. They excel in their own ways, for their own reasons. They’re honestly both work checking out, and giving a try to see which one out of the two you like best.
We’re big fans of community building so Pathable is great as well, if you’re into that sort of thing. ♥
Don’t stress about which tools to choose, ultimately, there will be 15–25 more in the next 6-months to a year. At which points, I’ll revisit this list and keep you event managers & entertainers updated.
