• Interview Target Prioritization: Get AI-driven recommendations for the most newsworthy interview subjects based on specific story interests.
• Real-time Updates: Access continuously updated insights as new exhibitor information and press materials are added throughout the event.

The agentic AI system goes beyond simple search functionality, offering conversational interactions that understand context, follow up on queries and provide strategic insights that enhance story development and conference coverage planning.

“As someone who works directly with media professionals daily, I’ve seen firsthand how time-consuming conference research can be,” says Vicki LaBrosse, director of global public relations at Edge Marketing. “Our new AI-enhanced Edge Room doesn’t just save time; it uncovers story opportunities that might otherwise be missed. When a journalist can ask our AI, ‘What are the most innovative technologies or services among this conference’s sponsors?’ and get a comprehensive, sourced analysis in seconds, that’s transformative for both story quality and deadline management.”

The AI integration maintains The Edge Room’s commitment to accuracy and attribution, ensuring all insights are properly sourced and verifiable. Media professionals can trace every AI-generated insight back to its original press materials, maintaining journalistic standards while accelerating research workflows.

Conference organizers and exhibitors benefit from enhanced media engagement, as the AI system helps journalists discover and explore their stories more thoroughly, leading to more informed and comprehensive coverage.
