In a groundbreaking partnership between POP Experiential and Northstar Meetings Group, the Autonomous XP Road Show is set to redefine how event professionals think, plan, and execute.
This one-of-a-kind series of workshops, entirely powered by AI, is the first of its kind in the industry—offering attendees the chance to roll up their sleeves and experience the transformative potential of artificial intelligence firsthand.
This partnership wasn’t just a collaboration—it was a shared vision. Together, POP | X and Northstar recognized the need to create an event that the industry has never seen before—an event that doesn’t just teach AI but lives it at every stage. From marketing to planning, logistics to engagement, Autonomous XP is entirely AI-driven, showing not only what’s possible but how it’s done.
Adding to this forward-thinking event is the support of Convene as the official venue sponsor. Convene’s recently published 2025 Meeting and Event Industry Predictions highlights trends that align perfectly with the vision of Autonomous XP, from immersive experiences to the rise of AI and automation. Here’s how these trends come to life at Autonomous XP:
1. The Experience is the Star
According to Convene’s report, attendees are demanding more than traditional sessions—they want immersive, Instagram-worthy experiences that leave a lasting impression. Autonomous XP takes this insight and amplifies it with fully immersive, hands-on opportunities to apply AI tools directly to real-world challenges. This isn’t just an event—it’s a transformational experience.
2. AI-Driven, Not Just AI-Focused
Convene’s prediction that planners will “level up” by using automation and AI is at the heart of Autonomous XP. Unlike other events that merely talk about AI, Autonomous XP shows you how to use it. Every element of the event, from the agenda to the marketing materials to on-site execution, is powered by AI. Attendees gain firsthand insights into what AI can do for their events.
3. Breaking Up with Ballrooms
The report highlights the move toward unique, personality-rich venues, and Convene’s innovative spaces perfectly embody this trend. As the venue sponsor, Convene provides inspiring environments that foster creativity and collaboration—ideal settings for reimagining the future of events.
4. Staying Close to Home
Convene predicts a continued rise in local events to reduce costs and carbon footprints. Autonomous XP embraces this trend by hosting workshops in three regional hubs:
- Chicago (February 20)
- Roslyn, VA (February 25)
- New York City (February 27)
This accessibility makes it easier for event professionals to participate without long-distance travel.
5. Culture is the Main Course
In line with Convene’s prediction that events will prioritize team building and connection, Autonomous XP creates opportunities for attendees to collaborate and innovate together. With hands-on workshops and AI-driven strategies, this event is as much about community as it is about learning.
Why Autonomous XP is Different
This event is not just about AI—it is powered by AI. From the very first email to the on-site experience, every element has been created using AI-driven tools. Attendees won’t just hear about the possibilities—they’ll see them in action and take home the skills and strategies to apply them immediately.
