Our take
Event marketing enables companies to engage with potential buyers and showcase their offerings up close - providing an ideal platform to communicate ideas, thoughts and brand identity. Vendelux offers a platform that empowers event marketers and CMOs to analyse customer and competitor behaviour, and in turn choose the best conferences to attend.
The company leverages AI to deliver insights on attendees and sponsors of over 160,000 global conferences, helping customers decide which events they should attend and sponsor for the largest return. It also allows collaboration with sales teams to book meetings with every possible lead, and ROI evaluation tools that prove the value of all event marketing activities.
Since founding, the company has amassed a growing customer base that includes the likes of GitLab, DocuSign and Intel, and has also raised several successful funding rounds. The most recent investment supports increased marketing efforts and the enhancement of its ROI-evaluation tools, as well as hiring to build out its team.
