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.
