[00:00:00] Speaker 1: More content doesn't solve the problem. It actually makes it worse. What AI can't do is make someone actually care. And that's what we're here to talk about. Every other marketing channel optimizes for the click, the open rate, the conversion. Events are different. You can't click your way through a live conversation. You show up, you engage, or you don't.

Arow Summary
The speaker argues that simply producing more content—especially with AI—doesn’t fix marketing challenges and can even worsen them because it doesn’t create genuine audience care. Unlike digital channels that optimize for clicks, opens, and conversions, events demand real-time presence and participation; attendees can’t “click through” a live conversation and must choose to show up and engage.
