Tasks that still need a human

• Judgment in ambiguous situations — A Event Planner still applies human judgment where rules run out.
• Relationships and accountability — Trust and responsibility in a Event Planner’s role stay human.

Skills that protect you

• Work alongside AI tools — A Event Planner who directs AI outperforms one who competes with it.
• Specialize and deepen expertise — Harder-to-automate niches protect a Event Planner.
• Communication and stakeholder skills — The human side of a Event Planner’s job is the durable part.
