Maybe everything old is new again?

As translated by ChatGPT

Yo, it's Jon Bon Jovi here and let me tell you, things are gettin' real interesting out there. Ya know, back in the day we had that ad, "Is it Live or is it Memorex?" Talkin' 'bout those audio cassette tapes, the ones you'd put in your Walkman and make mix tapes with. The point was, the quality was so good you couldn't tell if it was live music or a cassette.

Well, fast forward to today and we're seein' somethin' similar. Ya got all these tools gettin' so good, it's hard to tell if they're made by people or AI. And on the flip side, we got this "curated authenticity" trend. It's a real mind bender, ya know?

But one thing's for sure, things are movin' fast. Take these AI tools like DALL-E and ChatGPT, they're givin' everyone the chance to create content, express themselves, and have some fun. We ain't sure how these tools will be used in professional settings yet, but more and more agencies are startin' to use 'em to enhance the creative process and speed up some of the more tedious tasks. I'm even writin' this with ChatGPT and it's at capacity, I gotta wait for it to free up!

And it ain't just AI, we got AR and VR comin' into play too. Ya know, like that installation at CES where people could connect with their deceased loved ones. It was a real mind-blower, but it's a revolutionary application of AI. Imagine the possibilities of bringin' attendees face to face with thought leaders or historical figures from the past.

But, on the other hand, we got people goin' back to basics. Ya know, like vinyl records makin' a comeback and digital cameras becomin' popular again. And it's the blend of old and new that's most interesting. Younger generations like Z and Millennials are lookin' for realness and authenticity. They're lookin' for a return to the good old days, but with a twist. Like, the BeReal app, where people post instantly, wherever they are, and however they look. It's authentic, but through a social channel.

So, event planners, think about how you can bring this retro-style assumption to your events. Like, offerin' sponsored digital camera rentals and photo printing pop-ups. Imagine seein' your event through your guests' eyes and havin' a pile of photographs to show for it.

In short, things are gettin' real interesting out there. And it's up to us to keep up with the trends and make the most of the opportunities that come our way. So, let's roll with it and see where it takes us.
