Large-scale event management has always been a demanding undertaking. However, what transpired at the recent India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on February 16, 2026, is a particularly public and pointed reminder of just how demanding it truly is.

Artificial intelligence and its allied manifestations are almost everywhere today. AI is influencing multiple industries either directly or indirectly. If not already, it will be in no time. A few years ago, it was widely professed that the future was AI. Well, the future is here much sooner. Companies are now racing to take the most advantage of upcoming opportunities in AI. Universities and educational institutions are investing heavily in AI-driven programs. The big bucks are finding their way into AI startups more than any other sector today.

Conference organizers, particularly in peak submission seasons, know the drill all too well. Organizing entities and the overwhelming employees that work for them wake up every morning to dozens of abstract submissions flooding in as the deadline approaches. The rest of the day the team dreads all the more. Each of these abstracts needs personal attention and careful review as though they were a pupil in class. Reviewers then need to be assigned based on their expertise and every submission deserves fair evaluation.
