Do you ever find yourself at the end of a week wondering where the time went? That was precisely my experience this past week—a whirlwind of innovation, engagement, and learning. The highlight was my opportunity to speak at a conference hosted by Destinations International, a gathering of Destination Organizations representing cities across the globe, where the buzz around AI was palpable.

The Pulse of AI in Destination Marketing

AI is undeniably the talk of the town, or in this case, hundreds of cities worldwide. The focus at the conference was twofold: exploring AI policies and uncovering alternatives to ChatGPT. With AI integration becoming increasingly prevalent, the need for robust policies is clear. These discussions delved into establishing frameworks to ensure AI's ethical, transparent, and effective use, addressing a common challenge: the complexity of tracking AI applications across diverse platforms.

Beyond ChatGPT: Expanding AI Horizons

During my keynote, I ventured beyond the familiar realms of ChatGPT to introduce a suite of accessible AI tools. For Ai Club Society members, these tools might already be familiar companions in your AI toolkit. Yet, sharing them with a broader audience underscored the expansive potential of AI in enhancing destination marketing strategies and operations.

An AI Playground for CMOs: Sparking Creativity and Collaboration

Perhaps the most exhilarating part of the week was leading a workshop that transformed into an AI playground for CMOs. Imagine the energy in the room as we collectively birthed a new business in just 45 minutes—designing marketing assets, appointing a CEO (complete with AI-generated headshots!), crafting social media posts, and drafting a comprehensive business plan. This hands-on session wasn't just educational; it was a testament to the power of collaboration and AI in sparking instant innovation.

Jamming with Jam Ai: Tackling Imposter Syndrome with AI

In the latest episode of our podcast, Jam-Packed: Business Made Easy with Ai, Flora and I tackled a topic close to many of our hearts: Imposter Syndrome. Particularly resonant as I stepped onto the conference stage, we delved into how AI can be a formidable ally in overcoming these pervasive doubts, offering tools and strategies to bolster confidence and authenticity in any professional setting. listen here
