to event portfolios According to Gartner, “To support event go-to-market strategies across the enterprise, vendors are deepening and building capabilities to support governance and repeatable events.”  We feel that Bizzabo supports this shift with [event templates](https://www.bizzabo.com/event-management-software) and a [pricing model](https://www.bizzabo.com/pricing) designed to help teams scale event programs without added operational complexity. ![Frame 450013](https://welcome.bizzabo.com/hubfs/Frame%20450013.png) ###### Sponsorship ROI is now a top priority Sponsorship ROI is 
now a top priority“As event marketers face pressure to resell sponsor and exhibitor packages, sponsors are simultaneously scrutinizing their investments in third-party events and demanding ROI,” Gartner says.
 We feel that Bizzabo addresses this need with its [sponsor tools](https://www.bizzabo.com/event-management-software/event-sponsor-management-software), helping teams connect sponsor activity directly to pipeline impact. ![Frame 450253](https://welcome.bizzabo.com/hubfs/Frame%20450253.png) ###### Advancement of AI capabilities Gartner notes that “vendors will need to help event marketers align planned agentic AI capabilities with business outcomes.”  In our view, Bizzabo supports this with matchmaking, attendee copilot built
into the [mobile event app](https://www.bizzabo.com/event-management-software/mobile-event-app), and native [CRM platform attribution](https://www.bizzabo.com/event-management-software/event-software-integrations) that help 
connect activity directly to event impact. ![Frame 449986](https://welcome.bizzabo.com/hubfs/Frame%20449986.png) ## Why we feel customers choose Bizzabo ![\_](https://welcome.bizzabo.com/hubfs/quote_blue.svg) We are a small team of three, and we produce over 100 events a year.
