Smart Event Planning Gets a New AI Boost

Navan, the platform that streamlines business travel and spending, has launched a new tool in its event‑planning suite. By integrating BoomPop’s AI capabilities, users can now select venues and handle details without juggling spreadsheets.

What the Update Brings

• AI‑Powered Planning
  Chat with an AI to get date, location, and venue suggestions from a curated list.
  Eliminates endless email chains.

• Unified Budget Visibility
  Travel, lodging, and venue costs appear on a single screen, giving finance teams a clear budget overview.

• Risk‑Mitigation Support
  Experts help negotiate terms such as cancellations or changes, reducing organizer risk.

• Custom Event Webpages
  Post agendas, send invitations, and track RSVPs—all on a personalized page.

• All‑In‑One Itinerary
  Travelers see flights, trains, cars, and hotel rooms in one itinerary.

Feedback from Users

“The new features give organizers more control, especially over room blocks. The RSVP tracker and agenda builder cut manual work and made oversight smoother.”
— Affirm’s Travel Manager

Scale & Adoption

• Navan has organized 85,000 events to date.
• 30,000 events were scheduled in 2025 alone.

The addition of BoomPop’s tools closes a gap that had left venue sourcing manual, despite Navan already handling many travel logistics.

Availability

• Beta: Live for U.S. customers now.
• Full Launch: Planned soon.
• Global users continue to access Navan’s existing event tools while the new features roll out.
