A2Z Events

What A2Z Events does

A2Z Events is a private US-based software company founded in 1998 that provides an all-in-one, cloud-based event management platform used by trade show organizers, conference planners, and corporate event teams. The platform is purpose-built for multi-year, multi-event programs and unifies 14+ integrated modules covering floor plan management, exhibitor management and portals, online registration, conference scheduling with Call for Proposals (CFP), session and speaker management, lead retrieval, badge printing and check-in, sponsorship management, attendee mobile apps, evals and attendance tracking, revenue generation, event sales pipeline, continuing education (CEU) compliance, event portal workflows, and a multi-show analytics dashboard called Global HQ. The architecture is positioned as a single connected system that replaces point solutions across the full event lifecycle.

A2Z operates as a product line within the Personify corporate portfolio, alongside sibling brands WildApricot, ThreeSixty, and MemberClicks, and the A2Z logo carries co-branding referencing Momentive. Its revenue model is enterprise SaaS, sold as annual or multi-year subscriptions on a quote-based, demo-driven basis through a consultative direct sales motion; pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are routed through "Request a Demo" calls rather than self-serve purchase.

The customer base spans three primary verticals: trade shows and expos, conferences (including association and nonprofit events), and corporate events ranging from Fortune 500 to startups. The company states it has been trusted by "thousands of event professionals for more than 25 years," indicating a long-tenured customer base with deep accumulated event, attendee, and exhibitor data within the platform. Go-to-market relies on content marketing (blog, guides, case studies), webinars, organic search, and a sales-led enterprise channel rather than self-serve or marketplace distribution.
