It’s that time of the year again when we bring you the freshest startups bringing innovation to the event industry. Check them out.

Eventtech never sleeps. More and more startups are bringing incredible innovation to the event industry. AI is definitely the one to watch this spring and will definitely dominate autumn, hopefully with a good injection of VR.

How do we collect these startups?

They submit their pitch here and we select only those that haven’t been covered by other media outlets and/or offer an innovative or solid business proposition.

Compared to previous editions of these roundups, we have decided to include also new event apps and registration providers. As these two markets mature, we feel it is important to give a fair shot to those entering a very competitive environment. We have also added to the roundup the startups we have reviewed recently so you can catch up with a more in-depth analysis.

Before we give you the list, as it is usually the case with our eventtech posts, I kindly ask you to share it with your colleagues and friends. Sharing means supporting innovation in the event industry.
