Ever found yourself juggling multiple events at once and losing track of the details? If you’ve worked in event management, you know the feeling. A few years ago, when I was working as a B2B event manager at an agency, we barely had smart tools to make the job more efficient. Today, that’s changed. With the rise of intelligent AI platforms, event professionals can plan smarter, manage better—and stay sane while doing it. Work smarter, not harder. 😉 

But to get real value from AI tools like ChatGPT, you need more than access—you need to know how to use them effectively. The key? Smart prompts. The right questions lead to faster planning, sharper communication, and better analysis. 

In this article, you’ll find 10 practical AI prompts tailored for event planning. Use them to streamline your workflow and create more impactful events—with more time left for strategy and creativity.

Event teams operate under constant pressure: invitations, vendors, logistics, programs, follow-ups. AI tools can take over many repetitive or administrative tasks — if you know how to brief them well. 

With optimized prompts, you can: 

• Build event timelines 

• Create checklists 

• Segment audiences 

• Analyze feedback 

• Generate communication ideas 

• Identify sustainability measures
