How to Use ChatGPT to Make Sense of Your Next Conference or Event Agenda

Frankly, you don’t need to spend hours planning when AI can do it in minutes.

Conferences, festivals, retreats…whatever the event, the agenda usually looks the same: a mile long, full of overlapping sessions, and way too much for one human brain to process. Well, at least in one sitting.

Here’s the good news: ChatGPT can turn that chaos into a clear, customized plan in just a few prompts.

I don’t have much time to plan my upcoming conference…and the agenda alone was giving me heart palpitations. Normally, I’d spend days combing through every session, overthinking what to attend. But this time? No chance. Quick turnaround, packed schedule, and my mom is coming with me (!) which means I want to be extra strategic so we can enjoy the trip, not just sprint from room to room.

That’s when I turned to ChatGPT. Instead of spiraling, I let it help me map out exactly what mattered, what I could skip, and where I’d actually have space to breathe.
