Run Events Without Six Vendor Logins on Game Day.
Event organizers stitch Cvent for ticketing + Splash for marketing + Bizzabo for hybrid + Hopin for virtual + custom venue mgmt tools — paying per-ticket + per-attendee fees that eat 8-15% of revenue. Aeion's events stack — Events + Commerce + Marketing + Sentinel + Appointments + Connect — unifies the full lifecycle: registration → marketing → on-site check-in → networking → sponsor matchmaking → analytics → post-event re-engagement. AI throughout. 0% Aeion per-ticket fee.
Aeion Module ↔ Event Vendor Mapping
Cvent / Eventbrite → Aeion Events + Commerce
Registration, ticketing, and attendee management with multi-tier pricing, early-bird and group discounts, refunds, and transfers — and Aeion charges 0% per-ticket fee, so only Stripe's standard 2.9% processing applies. Read Events →
Splash / Marketo Events → Aeion Marketing
Per-event landing pages, email campaigns, and RSVP flows run in the same tool that handles post-event follow-up and lifecycle drips, so the campaign that filled the room is the same one that re-engages attendees afterward. Read Marketing →
Bizzabo / Hopin → Aeion Events Virtual + Hybrid
Live streaming, breakout rooms, virtual booths, attendee networking, and video-on-demand all run on Aeion Realtime, so in-person and remote attendees share the same event, not two disconnected experiences.
Venue Mgmt → Aeion Sentinel + Smart-Spaces
Per-venue cameras, badge access, visitor management, occupancy tracking, and safety monitoring keep the physical event as instrumented as the digital one. Read Sentinel →
Brella / Grip → Aeion Events Networking
AI-powered attendee networking matches people by shared interest, schedules the meeting, and captures the resulting lead for the sponsor — all native to the Events module, no separate networking app to onboard attendees into.
Sponsor Mgmt → Aeion Events Exhibitor Portal
Each exhibitor gets a branded booth with lead capture and analytics, billed through Aeion Commerce — so sponsor billing and sponsor performance data live in the same place.
Whova / Attendify → Aeion Events Mobile App
A per-event mobile app, built on Aeion Mobile Builder, ships attendees their schedule, networking, maps, and push notifications without a separate app-builder contract.
AI Networking + Recommendations
AeionClaw matches attendees by interests, roles, and company size, surfaces the highest-value meetings first, and drafts attendee bios and intro messages so the first message doesn't fall on the attendee to write.

AI networking matches attendees by interest and role and drafts the introduction, and sponsor ROI reports (booth visits, demo bookings, lead pipeline) generate automatically instead of being assembled by hand.
