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.
