3CX lands V20 Update 9 — redesigned web client and AI assistants in the PBX
A side-by-side editorial comparison of BigMarker and Bizzabo — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Webinar engagement polish, no AI in sight.
BigMarker is shipping a steady weekly cadence of small engagement and lead-capture primitives — giveaways, in-webinar CTA pop-ups, emoji reactions, chat in waiting rooms, grid survey questions. The work is concentrated on registration-form flexibility and live-event interactivity, not on the AI summarization, clipping, or translation features competitors are racing to add.
Bizzy AI goes platform-wide as Bizzabo's attendee copilot graduates to every event
Bizzabo is an enterprise event-management platform. Its feed is mostly SEO/education content on sponsorship, lead capture, and platform comparisons, but the most recent entry is a genuine product move: its Bizzy AI attendee copilot is now available for every event, not just select programs.
BigMarker is shipping a steady weekly cadence of small engagement and lead-capture primitives — giveaways, in-webinar CTA pop-ups, emoji reactions, chat in waiting rooms, grid survey questions. The work is concentrated on registration-form flexibility and live-event interactivity, not on the AI summarization, clipping, or translation features competitors are racing to add.
The platform is doubling down on its identity as a marketer's webinar tool — registration funnels, lead capture, attendee engagement signals — rather than chasing the AI-overlay narrative. Recent additions like the merge field and webinar selector form suggest a focus on multi-event campaigns and cross-sell registration flows. This is a deliberate stay-in-lane bet, not a reinvention.
Expect more registration-flow and post-webinar reporting features tied to the lead-capture story. An AI feature — auto-summary, auto-clipping, or AI-driven attendee insights — is the obvious gap, and if it doesn't show up in the next 8–10 entries, it's a strategic choice rather than backlog ordering.

Bizzabo is threading AI through the attendee experience — session recommendations, logistical Q&A, and engagement data — while its content arm pushes the sponsorship-ROI and lead-capture-to-pipeline story to enterprise buyers. The platform is converging on AI-assisted events plus measurable revenue attribution.
Expect Bizzy AI to expand from attendee-facing help into organizer-side workflows (analytics, recommendations, sponsor matching), and for the blog to keep tying events to pipeline.
