Tanya Pinchuk believes events are more than gatherings: they create meaningful connections and positive change.

With more than 20 years' experience in the events industry, Tanya has launched startups and founded ExpoPlatform. The company now has a global team of 115 people serving organizers in more than 30 countries.

Tanya champions a meeting-first approach, using AI to connect the right people before an event opens so attendees arrive with a plan and exhibitors leave with measurable outcomes. She is also co-author of the AI Agents Manifesto for Events.

Outside work, Tanya enjoys cycling around Cambridge with her three children and developing ideas to make events more personal, connected and memorable.
