Mark Cuban is doubling down on events. Crazy move?

Mark Cuban posted on June 5, 2025 that AI video will get so realistic in the next three years that people won't trust what they see online. His prediction: face-to-face engagement and events will explode.

I'm building the event copilot for startups and want to hear from founders and product people.

My questions for you:

• Are you already pitching or exhibiting at more events in 2025 compared to 2024? If yes, which ones delivered actual results?

• If you've cut back on events, what replaced them? Paid ads, async video demos, LinkedIn outreach?

And here's the bigger question: do you think Cuban is right? Will deepfakes and AI-generated content drive people back to live events, or will trust mechanisms (verification tools, blockchain proof) solve the problem online?

I want to know if this shift is already happening or if it's still speculative. Drop a comment with what you're seeing for your product.

Thank you!
