CHICAGO – May 6, 2024 – BCD Meetings & Events (BCD M&E) has introduced their newest technology innovation, Assist, a powerful proprietary Generative AI tool designed to transform the way their teams work. The tool encompasses the first phase of their launch of a robust suite of technology advances being released in the coming months that will create efficiencies in how they support clients.

Assist has been developed to enhance productivity, streamline processes and provide valuable assistance in day-to-day tasks. At the same time, it prioritizes responsible AI and the security and privacy of data and intellectual property.
