This month’s updates give event teams fewer places to work from. Connect Zuddl to Claude and ChatGPT, open waitlists for sessions that fill up, and message just the people registered for a session. Also new: session-level attendance in Marketo, multilingual virtual and hybrid events, badge scanning in Japanese, Korean and Chinese, and self-serve cancellation for ticket buyers.

This practical guide explores where AI can move beyond brainstorming and admin to actually create, check, manage, understand, and optimize events, plus a simple readiness checklist to help you identify where your program is ready for AI

Running an event takes hundreds of small manual actions, and this round of updates moves more of them into Zuddl.
