A decade ago, event tech was built by technologists, for event teams.
Now? Event teams are building it for themselves. Armed with AI tools, no-code platforms, and a growing confidence in “vibe coding,” organisers are no longer waiting on product roadmaps or development queues.
They’re creating their own solutions, and fast.
But just because you can, does it mean you should?
Is this the democratisation of event tech… or a fast track to fragmented systems, security risks and more operational headaches?
This session brings together event directors, product owners and event professionals-turned-builders to go head-to-head on one big question:
Is DIY event tech the future or a recipe for disaster?
