Task-by-Task Breakdown

Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure

67

allocates exhibition space to exhibitors

AI Assists

AI-powered event management platforms like Eventbrite or Cvent can optimise floor plan allocation based on exhibitor categories and traffic flow, though final decisions often require human negotiation with exhibitors.

56

develops proposal for the event, and presents proposal to client

AI Assists

AI can generate draft event proposals, suggest layouts, and produce cost estimates using tools like ChatGPT or Canva AI, but tailoring proposals to specific client needs and presenting them persuasively remains a human strength.

56

plans work schedules, assigns tasks, and co-ordinates the activities of designers, crafts persons, technical staff, caterers and other events staff

AI Assists

AI scheduling tools like Motion or Microsoft Copilot can automate task assignment and timeline generation, but coordinating diverse teams in real-time and handling last-minute changes still requires experienced human oversight.

44

discusses conference and exhibition requirements with clients and advises on facilities

AI Assists

AI tools like ChatGPT can help draft initial questions, summarise client briefs, and suggest venue options, but the nuanced negotiation and relationship-building with clients requires human judgment and interpersonal skill.

33

liaises closely with venue staff to ensure smooth running of the event

Human-Led

AI can assist with communication drafts and checklists, but the real-time, on-the-ground coordination with venue staff during live events is inherently physical and interpersonal, requiring human presence.

33

ensures that Health and Safety and other statutory regulations are met

Human-Led

AI can help generate compliance checklists and flag regulatory requirements using tools like ChatGPT, but verifying and enforcing Health and Safety regulations on-site requires qualified human judgement and legal accountability.

How is this calculated?▾

Task weights — each task is weighted by its O*NET frequency rating. Where frequency data is absent, equal weighting is applied.

AI time reduction — tasks scored as "AI Automates" assume 80% time saving; "AI Assists" assumes 40%; "Human-Led" assumes 5%.

Salary equivalent — annual hours saved × (salary ÷ 1,800 working hours/year).

Value at risk — salary × share of role time in AI-automate or AI-assist tasks.

Figures are indicative estimates for planning purposes, not guarantees of productivity gain or job loss risk.
