Dublin, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Event Management Software Market by Software, Event Type - Global Forecast to 2031" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global event management Software AG market is projected to grow from approximately USD 18.6 billion in 2026 to USD 36.8 billion by 2031, registering a compound annual growth rate of 14.6%. Growth is being driven by rising enterprise investment in customer and employee events, increased demand for experiential engagement, and the rapid adoption of AI-powered event planning and attendee engagement technology.

Organizations are investing in conferences, product launches, trade shows, corporate meetings, and other business events to strengthen brand loyalty, improve customer relationships, and support workforce culture. As event frequency and operational complexity increase, enterprises are moving from fragmented tools and spreadsheet-based processes to unified event management platforms that combine registration, marketing, engagement, operations, and analytics.

AI-enabled event management Software AG is expected to hold the largest market share by technology. Machine learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics are increasingly embedded in planning, marketing, and engagement workflows. These capabilities support registration forecasting, personalized attendee communications, automated content generation, real-time engagement scoring, and audience interaction while reducing manual planning requirements.

Industry developments reflect the growing strategic importance of embedded AI. In June 2025, Cvent launched CventIQ at Cvent Connect Group . The AI layer combines proprietary insights, analytics, and intelligent infrastructure and introduced capabilities including live session transcription, automated proposal creation, and immersive 3D venue visualization. In September 2025, Zoom introduced AI Companion 3.0 at Zoomtopia, using a federated AI architecture that combines Zoom models with third-party models to generate deeper, context-aware meeting and event insights.

Opportunities for technology providers include modular AI add-ons, vertical-specific AI copilots, predictive event orchestration, on-site automation, smart badging, and integrations with CRM and marketing automation ecosystems. Vendors must also address data privacy, model accuracy, integration complexity, platform interoperability, and performance requirements for large-scale events.

Software AG Segment Leads Event Management Technology Investment

The Software AG segment is expected to account for the largest share of the event management Software AG market. Core demand spans registration, ticketing, planning, event marketing, attendee engagement, networking, onsite management, analytics, and event intelligence. Competitive differentiation increasingly depends on AI-assisted content creation, reliable registration workflows, automated insights, and interoperability with CRM, payment, and marketing automation systems.

Market consolidation is expanding the reach and capabilities of established platforms. In April 2026, Cvent completed its acquisition of ON24, a cloud-native webinar and digital engagement platform, extending its position from event execution into continuous digital engagement. In December 2025, Eventbrite entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bending Spoons, highlighting continued consolidation as event technology companies pursue greater scale and broader capabilities.

New market entrants can Target lightweight, modular Software AG , AI-assisted analytics, CRM interoperability, and low-friction migration from legacy platforms and spreadsheets. Industries with complex, recurring event calendars offer particularly strong opportunities for providers seeking to establish a registration and planning foothold before expanding into adjacent Software AG modules.

North America Leads While Asia Pacific Records the Fastest Growth

North America is expected to dominate the event management Software AG market due to mature enterprise Software AG adoption, widespread cloud deployment, advanced engagement analytics, and growing use of AI-powered event platforms. High-event-volume industries-including technology, financial services, and professional services-are adopting unified platforms to reduce planning overhead, improve attendee engagement, strengthen marketing attribution, and protect attendee data.

Strategic collaboration among event management Software AG providers, CRM companies, and cloud hyperscalers is strengthening platform integration and improving decision-making across distributed event portfolios. Asia Pacific is forecast to be the fastest-growing regional market, supported by rising corporate event activity, expanding digital infrastructure, and increased adoption of cloud-native event platforms.

Market growth may be constrained by implementation and integration complexity, particularly when event platforms must Connect Group with existing CRM, enterprise, payment, and marketing automation systems. These requirements can increase deployment time and cost. Budget limitations also remain a barrier for independent planners, small event organizers, and small businesses that may find comprehensive platforms cost-prohibitive relative to their event volume.
