Why Teams Switch to EventHex
Face-match photo delivery — a genuine differentiator
EventHex's AI Photo Gallery uses facial recognition to automatically deliver event photos to each attendee. Bizzabo doesn't offer this natively, meaning organizers still rely on manual photo curation.
WhatsApp reaches your audience first
In GCC and South Asia, WhatsApp open rates far exceed email. EventHex's native concierge sends tickets, reminders, and post-event wrap-ups over WhatsApp — no extra integration needed.
0% platform fee keeps margins intact
Connect your own payment gateway and pay nothing per ticket. Bizzabo's enterprise pricing can include per-attendee fees that scale against your revenue.
Built for regional payment realities
EventHex natively supports local payment gateways across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and India — removing the workarounds that global platforms require for regional events.
