Introducing In the Room: The Events & Expo Podcast by Markus AI

Events run on people
Every show is built by people: organizers, exhibitors, sponsors and the teams working behind the scenes. Their experience rarely gets shared in public, and that’s where most of the industry’s best lessons live.
In the Room: The Events & Expo Podcast is where we sit down with them for honest conversations about growing events and building a career in this industry.
What the show covers
How event teams hire, grow and stay ahead
Where AI actually helps, and where it doesn’t
What it takes to build events people keep coming back to
The business shifts reshaping our industry, from private equity to new event formats
No sales pitches. Just real conversations with people who do the work.
