📰 Moingo News Weekly: AI Hesitations, Industry Reform & Wembley’s New Production Powerhouse
Welcome back to Moingo News, where we deliver the latest insights and stories from the live events, production, and AV world — fast, focused, and designed for professionals who need to stay ahead. In this edition, we’re talking lost productivity, evolving legislation, AI reluctance, Zoom’s virtual reboot, and big tech upgrades at one of the UK’s most iconic venues.
⏳ Event Planners Losing 8 Weeks a Year to Inefficiency
A new industry study has revealed that event professionals lose up to 8 weeks of productivity annually due to outdated processes and fragmented workflows. That’s two months gone — simply because of poor tech integration.
The report highlights a critical need for better digital adoption across planning, logistics, and client comms. From CRMs to scheduling software and mobile apps, embracing smarter tools could transform delivery timelines and team wellbeing alike.
đź“Š Moingo Insight: If you’re still juggling spreadsheets and manual checklists, it’s time to explore solutions that streamline production and reduce burnout.
🏛️ The APPG for Events Announces New Chair Elect and Commercial Membership Scheme
In a move to strengthen ties across the sector, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Events has announced a new Chair Elect, while launching a commercial membership model. This shift aims to give stakeholders more direct access to government engagement and long-term policy discussions.
For event organisers, venues and suppliers, this is a step towards stronger representation in shaping the future of the industry — from funding to infrastructure support.
📣 Moingo Insight: Advocacy matters. We’ll be watching closely to see how these new connections impact real-world outcomes for event businesses.
🤖 Most Office Workers Still Not Using AI — Why?
Despite the AI boom, a staggering 75% of office workers still aren’t using AI tools, according to a recent survey. The top barriers? Lack of training, uncertainty about where to start, and concerns around job security.
This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the events world. Integrating AI into workflows — from transcription to scheduling to data analysis — could unlock significant efficiency gains, especially for agencies managing multiple projects.
đź’¬ Moingo Insight: The tools are out there, but confidence and clarity around implementation are what will really drive adoption.
🧠Zoom Launches AI Companion 2.0
Zoom is levelling up with AI Companion 2.0, an upgrade designed to make virtual meetings smoother and smarter. The latest features include real-time meeting summaries, action item tracking, and even message generation — making it a powerful assistant for hybrid teams.
As remote and hybrid events continue to thrive, tools like this are critical in managing follow-ups, notes, and collaborative documentation more effectively.
đź”— Moingo Insight: For producers and project managers, this is a chance to tighten communication between teams and clients without adding admin time.

The investment includes enhanced control rooms, connectivity, and hybrid broadcasting capabilities — ready for everything from sports to major concerts.
