Ant Media Server 3.2 adds WHEP playback, Prometheus metrics and plugin installs from the dashboard.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Bizzabo and Eventcombo — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Bizzabo is selling event software on outcomes: agents for the work, ROI for sponsors.
Bizzabo's feed is mostly buyer-guide content, but two product launches stand out. In October it unveiled AI agents that work across the event lifecycle. In November it made Sponsor ROI generally available, a module that matches sponsors with attendees who fit their target profile and reports back what the sponsorship returned.
Eventcombo adds webinar demo checklists to its 2027 buyer guides.
Eventcombo's feed is search content aimed at buyers planning next year: a 2027 event production guide, a webinar platform guide, an event planning checklist and guides on HubSpot sync and hybrid platforms. Nothing here describes a product release.

In November it made Sponsor ROI generally available, a module that matches sponsors with attendees who fit their target profile and reports back what the sponsorship returned.
The positioning is moving from running events to proving their business value. Both launches aim at the questions event teams get from leadership and sponsors: what did this cost in staff time, and what did it return. The content marketing (portfolio management, enterprise readiness, pipeline-linked webinars) tells the same story.
The entries suggest more agent features tied to measurable outcomes, but they don't show which workflow the agents will cover next, so the next step is unclear.

The content has moved down the funnel, from general event-planning advice to vendor selection and CRM integration. Eventcombo is writing for the marketing and operations teams who compare platforms and worry about data sync. The shadow tech stack post adds a governance angle aimed at the same buyers.
Expect more 2027 comparison and integration content through budget season. The entries give no basis for forecasting a product release.
