What looked to be a slow year for event tech deals ramped up to a climactic finale with three major deals announced in December. Consolidation, AI upgrades and streamlined versions of all-in-one solutions were some of the trends that emerged and promise to continue into 2026.

Cvent continues to drive event tech consolidation. Its second December acquisition sees it take over a webinar platform with a notable list of enterprise clients.

Cvent’s latest acquisition focuses on extending event content beyond the live experience through branded videos.

CventIQ represents a significant bet on AI becoming the backbone of Cvent's entire ecosystem, predictable buzzwords included.

The event tech landscape continues its AI acceleration, with several major platforms — as well as destinations and companies outside the event tech sector — rolling out AI-powered features. Meanwhile, strategic acquisitions signal ongoing industry consolidation.

The rising cost of meetings is prompting planners to reconsider where they hold them. Lower hotel rates and reduced service fees in smaller cities are shifting the conversation away from traditional tier-one destinations.

Despite current economic headwinds, Cvent has restarted its acquisition spree by adding one of the few companies that specialises in 3D visualization of event spaces.

Cvent Connect, one of the meetings industry's flagship events, is heading to Nashville in 2026 after back-to-back years in San Antonio.

As meeting venues contend with rising costs, supply-chain issues, labor shortages, and other challenges, they should not lose sight of opportunities to increase efficiency through automated solutions and win more business by marketing efforts toward diversity, accessibility, and sustainability.

Meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider Cvent has unveiled two new products and is rolling out a new instant booking tool across Choice Hotels International's portfolio of franchised hotels.
