At The Studio@GBTA Convention 2026 in Chicago, hubli COO Mark Nunan shared his perspective on where meetings technology is heading and why the future is about more than simply adding AI.

From AI-powered Where to Meet planning based on cost and carbon, through venue sourcing, proposal comparison, negotiation, approvals, registration, rooming lists, payments and reporting, the goal is simple: help organizations make better decisions across the entire meeting journey.

As Mark highlights, the next generation of meetings technology needs more than disconnected tools or scraped data. Real API connectivity, enhanced by intelligent AI layers, creates the scalable foundation enterprise meeting programs need.

That is where hubli is focused making meetings simpler to plan, easier to manage and more intelligent at every step.

Thank you to @GBTA and the PR & Communications team for creating The Studio@GBTA and giving industry voices a platform to inform, inspire and move our industry forward.
