New functionality enables end-to-end event planning for groups of any size

Navan (NASDAQ:NAVN), the global AI-powered business travel and expense platform, today announced a major enhancement to its Meetings & Events platform: an advanced events functionality powered by the integration of BoomPop, the AI-powered event management platform, and its smart venue sourcing and planning capabilities.

"Companies spend billions on Meetings & Events every year, yet the infrastructure for event planning remains fragmented," said Galen Grady, SVP & GM, Meetings & Events at Navan. "Most companies remain trapped in a web of emails and spreadsheets, a time-consuming process that results in a poor experience for high-stakes events like sales kickoffs and team offsites. At Navan, we're creating a single ecosystem where our customers can manage the entire event lifecycle."

"Having early access to the new event enhancements in Navan has shown us how much more control they'll give our organizers, particularly around room block management," said Asia Fysh, Global Travel Program Manager, Affirm. "The integrated RSVP tracking, agenda builder, and internal event site tools significantly reduce manual coordination and bring some much-needed efficiency to event oversight."

With the integration of BoomPop, Navan's Advanced Meetings & Events platform will deliver:

Smart Venue Sourcing: Planners can chat with AI to find event inspiration and instantly suggest dates and locations, source venues from a curated marketplace of offsite-ready spaces, while managing agendas and negotiating RFPs and room blocks directly within the platform.
Total Event Cost Visibility: Combines real-time travel and expense data with venue invoices and contracts, centralizing all event costs in a single view for finance teams.
Expert Risk Mitigation: Direct access to event experts to negotiate critical contract terms such as attrition, cancellation and force majeure on the organizer's behalf.
Customizable Event Webpages: Information hubs where organizers can share event details, agendas and venue information, alongside redesigned invitations and tailored RSVP functionality.
Unified Itineraries: Travelers will now see all of their bookings including flights, trains, cars and hotel room blocks within their Navan itinerary.

To date, Navan has facilitated nearly 85,000 events through its self-serve group travel solution, with 30,000 occurring in 2025 alone. Until now, room blocks and venue sourcing remained a manual process, even though Navan had already brought most of the functionalities needed to manage individual traveler logistics for large groups into its platform.

By integrating BoomPop's capabilities directly into the platform, Navan will close this gap, offering a complete spectrum of support in a single digital ecosystem.

"The events industry has been held back by fragmented technology for too long," said Healey Cypher, CEO at BoomPop. "Navan solved the travel and expense piece, and BoomPop mastered AI-driven venue sourcing and event execution. Federating our offerings together gives planners a single source of truth and a tool that gives them back their most valuable resource: time."

The advanced events functionality is currently available in beta for Navan customers in the United States, with plans for a full launch in the near future. All other Navan Meetings & Events capabilities remain available to customers globally.
