Market Driver

Chatbots, powered by artificial intelligence, serve as valuable assistants for event organizers. They engage attendees through instant messaging services, answering frequently asked questions, collecting feedback, and delivering customized notifications. These communication-based AIs offer mass personalization, saving time and money, and are easily accessible without the need for app downloads. In event management, chatbots enhance attendee experience and provide smarter capabilities for organizers, contributing to market growth. 

The Event Management Software Market is experiencing significant growth, particularly in areas of event marketing. A recent survey revealed that actionable insights from data are essential for event success. However, the higher price tag of advanced software may limit adoption in less developed regions. Containment measures for athletic events, such as marathons and film festivals, are driving the need for more event management platforms. Strategic partnerships with companies like Tripleseat and updated technologies are key trends. SMEs in developing regions are adopting semi-consolidated solutions for primary ticketing and event schedule management. Virtual events and data management are also gaining traction, with real-time data analysis, social media integration, and gamification becoming important features. General Atlantic’s investment in event management software indicates the market’s potential. Event managers seek end-to-end functionality, event execution workflows, and data-handling attributes to meet attendee demands. Opinions and attendee behavior continue to shape the market, with brand marketing and technology playing crucial roles.
