You organized a 3-day corporate event. Invested $500K. Had 800 attendees. But when the CEO asks "Which session drove the most engagement? How many people visited the main sponsor's booth? What time had peak traffic?", you don't have precise answers.

The market is growing: 52% increase in event portfolios in H1 2024 (Bizzabo). But 70% of organizers still struggle to demonstrate ROI with objective data.
