The win showcases Kaltura’s leadership as it redefines the role of AI in live enterprise events with its industry-leading Agentic Avatar technology.
Over the last three years, Kaltura consistently won the Eventex ‘Best Event AI Technology’ category for combining AI-powered engagement, personalization, and hybrid-event innovation through products like Kaltura Genie and AI Content Lab. Judges highlighted capabilities such as AI event assistants, real-time audience engagement, automated summaries and follow-ups, sentiment analysis, and AI-generated post-event content that improved attendee experiences while helping organizers scale events more efficiently.
