Exploring the Best Event Management Platforms for 2025

Hi, I’m currently helping a client evaluate event management platforms for their upcoming conference season, and it’s been fascinating to explore how far these tools have evolved. Today’s platforms are built for everything—from in-person gatherings to fully virtual and hybrid experiences—with features covering end-to-end logistics, engagement, and analytics.

After digging through G2’s reviews and comparing functionality, here are a few platforms that really stood out for their user-friendliness, flexibility, and robust feature sets:

A powerhouse for large-scale events—offering website creation, badge printing, check-in management, and deep ROI tracking.

Webex Events & Webinars

Well-suited for hybrid and virtual formats, with built-in engagement tools like live Q&A, polls, and seamless integration with Webex.

Whova

A user favorite for its intuitive mobile experience. Great for enhancing networking and streamlining event logistics.

Eventbrite

Ideal for smaller events or community-driven gatherings. It’s known for its simplicity in ticketing, registration, and basic promotions.

vFairs

Shines in the virtual event space—think interactive virtual booths, networking lounges, and customizable branding.
