What they’re saying

“Inclusion and accessibility shouldn't end when the last session wraps. Workspaces gives event organizers the control to extend language access beyond the conference, ensuring the same experience continues across planning meetings, trainings, and everyday operations.”

— Lakshman Rathnam, Founder and CEO of Wordly

“The events industry has been held back by fragmented technology for too long. Navan solved the travel and expense piece, and BoomPop mastered AI-driven venue sourcing and event execution. Federating our offerings together gives planners a single source of truth and a tool that gives them back their most valuable resource: time.”

— Healey Cypher, CEO of BoomPop

“For years, event technology has focused on engagement metrics—clicks, scans, dashboards. But engagement alone is no longer enough. The next era belongs to intelligence: events that understand context, adapt in real time, and act when people need answers.”

— Kuan Yan, CEO and co-founder of Jublia AI

What’s next

The advanced events tools from Navan and BoomPop are currently available in beta for U.S. customers, with broader rollout planned.
