Bizzabo Named as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner Magic QuadrantTM for Event Marketing and Management Platforms

Bizzabo, the Event Experience Operating System (EEOS) that powers scalable in-person, virtual, and hybrid events, today announced its recognition as a Visionary in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Event Marketing and Management Platforms. This marks the third year Bizzabo has been named in the report, and we feel it is reinforcing its role as a trusted partner for organizations looking to turn event data into actionable insights.

Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Market Defintion

Gartner defines event marketing and management platforms as "tools that enable B2B marketers to execute in-person events for external audiences. These platforms provide native capabilities to engage and communicate with prospective attendees, registrants and sponsors; manage logistics; deliver content; and enable attendees to engage with other participants."

Why it matters to us

We think, for event organizers, this recognition reflects a clear shift in what defines success: not just delivering strong experiences, but understanding and proving their impact. Gartner highlights Bizzabo's AI-driven product capabilities, flexible pricing model, and robust attendee management as key strengths supporting this shift.

Bizzabo stands out for AI capabilities, pricing, and attendee management

In our view, Bizzabo's product innovation aligns with key shifts in the events landscape highlighted in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. These include the move toward scalable event portfolios, increased pressure to demonstrate sponsor ROI, and event organizer expectations for practical AI use cases.

With flexible pricing designed for multi-event programs, AI capabilities that connect engagement to pipeline impact, and strong attendee management across registration and onsite experiences, we feel that Bizzabo supports event teams in delivering measurable results at scale.
