Parse conference agendas, automatically block calendar time for sessions, and generate AI briefings on speakers and companies you'll meet.

Workflow Steps

1

Notion

Import and structure conference agenda

Create a Notion database with properties for session name, time, speaker, company, track, and priority level. Import the TechCrunch Disrupt agenda and mark sessions of interest.

2

Zapier

Sync high-priority sessions to calendar

Create a Zap that triggers when a Notion database item is marked as high priority. Automatically create Google Calendar events with session details, location, and travel time buffers.

3

ChatGPT

Generate speaker research briefings

For each high-priority session, use ChatGPT to research the speaker's background, recent company news, and potential conversation starters. Save outputs back to your Notion database.

4

Calendly

Create meeting availability blocks

Set up specific availability windows between sessions for networking meetings. Share your Calendly link with contacts to book time slots that don't conflict with priority sessions.

5

Slack

Send daily agenda reminders

Use Zapier to send yourself (or your team) a daily Slack message with that day's priority sessions, speaker briefings, and scheduled meetings 30 minutes before the conference day starts.
