Our take
Event marketing enables companies to engage with potential buyers and showcase their offerings in real-time - 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 including the likes of Paypal and Calendly, and also raised several successful funding rounds. The most recent funding will allow Vendelux to broaden its reach, enhance product development, and further diversify its customer segments.
