> “In a constantly evolving event market, performance can no longer be guessed, it must be measured. The events that truly resonate are those that combine personalization, interaction and purpose. That’s why an event platform has become an absolute must-have: it centralizes data and collaboration to create memorable experiences, for both audiences and teams.”  Joy Grand, Marketing & Acquisition Manager at Digitevent

> "Event mobile apps – agenda + speakers + map apps become commodity. Very likely to disappear very soon. Anyone can build an event mobile app today on any vibe coding platforms in 10 minutes or so. Anything human-driven and logistics-heavy will not die."  Pedro Goes, CEO at InEvent

> "The industry is evolving into a strategic partner for organizations, not just an executional service. With growing attention to sustainability, inclusivity, and impactful experiences, I believe the business events industry will be stronger and more relevant than ever by 2026.”  Patrizia Buongiorno, Vice President at AIM Group International
