AI-generated summaries: how to share your event?s highlights minutes after the doors close

The final keynote has just finished, crews are dismantling and attendees are heading for the exits. Before the buzz fades, your audience already wants to review what they learned and pass it on. Today, artificial intelligence can deliver highlights, guides and key quotes within minutes, without long editing cycles.

What makes an AI summariser different?

1. Real-time transcription of speakers, slides and audience questions.

2. Classification and prioritisation: pulls out data points, punchy quotes and action items.

3. Natural-language drafting of ready-to-publish pieces—from a LinkedIn thread to a PDF recap.

Tools such as Wordly or Read.ai produce instant summaries from the session stream or recording, packaging key points and “wow moments.” Event-management platforms already sport an “AI-Generated Event Summary” button for one-click polished recaps.

Why it matters: three measurable gains

• Speed to publish
  The first 24 h are critical for recall; with AI, content goes live while the conversation is still warm.

• Expanded reach
  Non-attendees get a reliable digest, while attendees keep a shareable reminder for internal circulation.

• SEO & performance
  A well-optimised recap keeps attracting traffic months later; Glue Up reports ongoing search spikes thanks to AI-generated evergreen summaries.

What a good auto-summary should include

• Top 5 insights backed by data.

• Stand-out quotes with speaker name and title.

• Action list or next steps suggested on stage.

• Links to full recordings or documentation.

• Graphics or snippets generated from key slides.

Google Meet, for instance, attaches the note document to the calendar event and pings late arrivals with a catch-up paragraph.

How to launch your summary workflow in 5 steps

1. Pick your audio/video source—stream, Zoom, Google Meet or the event app.

2. Train the AI to capture speaker names and sector-specific jargon.

3. Decide the delivery format (PDF, blog post, email, social thread).

4. Live-review: spend 5 min correcting proper names or sensitive figures.

5. Publish and repurpose: turn the same text into a newsletter, infographic or inspiration post; platforms like Fathom or Wordly also output editable soundbites.

Best practices & limits to watch

• Accuracy: AI hits about 90 % in English; double-check niche terms and contextual nuances.

• Privacy: inform speakers of audio recording and set clear data-use policies.

• Format variety: not everyone loves PDFs; add video clips or a short podcast to maximise accessibility.
