AI Assistant in your events.

Event Assistant is an AI-powered assistant available on the event front end. It helps attendees find information about the event by asking questions in natural language. It uses the event’s published content as its primary source and can also use additional training material uploaded by the event organizer.

Enabling this AI feature

AI-powered features in vFairs are gated behind an organization-level data consent setting, so this feature won't be available until that consent is granted.

To turn it on:

  1. Go to Organization Profile > AI Data Usage (in the organization's backend settings).
  2. You'll see two toggles:
    • Event Configuration Data (No PII) — lets AI features use your event's structural and content data (agenda, FAQs, session and booth details) to power things like event assistants, content search, and session recommendations.
    • User Data (Contains PII) — lets AI features use individual attendee, speaker, and exhibitor data to power things like matchmaking, personalized recommendations, and lead enrichment.
  3. Turning on either toggle opens a privacy consent pop-up. From here you can download the AI Data Policy, review it, and sign it before turning the toggle on.
  4. Once both toggles are enabled, This feature  will available to the organization — across all of its events — is unlocked and ready to use.
