Andy is so excited to have Julie Novack of PartySlate back on the show yet again! While he would highly recommend that you go back and listen to the previous episodes she has been on, in case you aren’t familiar with Julie, she is the CEO and co-founder of PartySlate, a groundbreaking photo-rich website connecting event professionals, planners, and venues.

Join Andy today as he and Julie delve into artificial intelligence and how it is revolutionizing the industry. Julie also shares insights into the evolving landscape of digital marketing and how AI is becoming increasingly crucial for building and enhancing brand presence as an event professional. No longer just a thing of the future, AI is here to stay, and it is going to continue to change the face of media as we know it.

Perhaps what is most exciting is how AI is even seeping into familiar software platforms, making its benefits more accessible and integrated into our daily workflows, and Julie even predicts that Google will basically be unrecognizable five years from now! As she has discussed on the show before, Julie also emphasizes the importance of having a well-organized digital footprint, so if you’re looking to stay ahead in the digital realm, then this episode is definitely for you!

Andy is, as always, so grateful for Julie’s time and really appreciates how much knowledge and wisdom she is able to pack into just a small amount of time. If you enjoy this interview with Julie, be sure to check out PartySlate, and Andy would love it if you were to share it with colleagues and leave a top review wherever you listen.
