Chain of Events is the team behind the RAISE conference
RAISE is one of the leading global events at the intersection of AI and business. Ahead of the conference, Chain of Events needed to scale personalized outreach to sponsors and speakers without the cost of hiring and training a team of SDRs.

The problem: A fragmented workflow that couldn't scale
Their previous stack, Apollo for enrichment and HubSpot for sequences, was heavily manual. After evaluating multiple AI SDR tools, Chain of Events chose Artisan's AI BDR, Ava. Ava was the only AI BDR laser-focused on delivering high-quality outbound sequences, not just volume.
How Artisan powers event outreach day to day
- Fully automates sponsor and speaker outreach, end-to-end
- Replaces the workload of 5 full-time SDRs
- A single team member spends 4 to 5 hours per week fine-tuning personas and updating campaigns
