Gartner defines event marketing and management platforms as tools that enable B2B marketers to execute in-person events for external audiences. These platforms provide native capabilities to engage and communicate with prospective attendees, registrants and sponsors; manage logistics; deliver content; and enable attendees to engage with other participants. Out-of-the-box integrations with sales force automation and marketing automation platforms are provided to track engagement. Features and capabilities are provided in a self-service model, with some platforms offering managed service support to run the technology when preferred. The event technology market does not include webinars or internal meeting-specific solutions.
