The Modern Event Tech Stack
2026-01-15 · Jennaleigh Wilder
The modern event stack has consolidated. Gartner's event technology trends ↗ emphasize unified platforms over point solutions.
Core Components
Registration — Launchpad, Eventbrite ↗, Tito ↗. Payments — Stripe ↗. Check-in — QR codes, NFC. Livestream — Zoom ↗, YouTube ↗, Vimeo ↗. Q&A — Slido ↗, Mentimeter ↗. Networking — Brella ↗, Grip ↗. Analytics — Mixpanel ↗, PostHog ↗.
Launchpad integrates with 20+ tools. We generate the event; you connect the rest. API-first design means you can push events to any platform. Cvent's integration marketplace ↗ and Bizzabo's Event OS ↗ follow the same philosophy — one source of truth, many touchpoints.
