Traditional slide-centric analyst days will increasingly be complemented by multimodal, AI-first experiences spanning physical and digital spaces. Forward-looking vendors will use spatial and immersive environments – digital twins, simulations, and on-site demonstrations of AI-controlled systems – to give analysts tangible understanding of complex operations. Critically, these events will also generate rich, modular content (Q&A, walkthroughs, structured explainers) designed to feed AI search and answer engines. Destrier expects post-event surveys to show that immersive and AI-augmented formats significantly improve perceived understanding compared to traditional briefings. Event success will be measured not just by the room experience but by how well outputs perform in AI-mediated discovery afterward.
