The platform streamlines booking, management, and execution of both virtual and in-person events, with dedicated event experts handling scheduling, rate negotiations, contracts, and logistics to ensure a hassle-free experience for clients. What makes BoomPop different is its focus on small businesses and a cause-driven network of partners (over 100 small businesses, including sustainability, women-owned, and minority-owned vendors), enabling social impact alongside event experiences. This approach helps small organizations generate revenue and community through events, a goal supported by their pandemic-era pivot to virtual events and a mission to bring people together with high-quality, stress-free planning.

Navan beats quarterly estimates, raises forecast; shares tumble on cost concerns.

Navan beats quarterly estimates, raises forecast; shares tumble on cost concerns. By Shivansh Tiwary and Aatreyee Dasgupta Reuters Updated September 9, 2026 7:30 PM Gift Article Sept 9 (Reuters) - Corporate travel and expense platform Navan beat second-quarter profit expectations and raised its full-year revenue forecast on Wednesday, but shares fell 17% in extended trading after higher operating costs overshadowed robust revenue growth. Operating expenses increased 46% to $200.2 million in the reported quarter, outpacing 35% revenue growth, while its operating loss widened to $25.6 million from $12.3 million a year earlier. On a post-earnings call analysts questioned why stronger-than-expected revenue growth did not translate into a proportionately larger profit increase, with executives pointing to higher sales commissions and the ongoing investment in AI products. Business travel, however, has remained resilient despite geopolitical uncertainty, with corporate investment in artificial intelligence prompting sales teams, engineers and executives to travel more frequently. "Demand for corporate travel has been very, very strong," CFO Aurélien Nolf told Reuters in an interview. "On average, every traveler is (taking) more trips year over year. And each of those trips is on average generating higher bookings than they were a year ago." Navan raised its fiscal year revenue forecast range to $927 million to $933 million from $907 million to $913 million earlier, and increased its adjusted operating income outlook to $82 million to 86 million from $76 million to $80 million. The company forecast third-quarter revenue of $253 million to $255 million, above analysts' expectations of $248.27 million, according to LSEG data. Adjusted profit was 5 cents per share for the second quarter, compared with analysts' expectations of 4 cents per share. Revenue rose 35% to $232.8 million, beating analysts' estimates of $220.46 million. Gross booking volume, a key measure of travel spend processed on its platform, increased 45% to $3 billion during the quarter, while payment volume rose 34% to $1.3 billion. Navan, which went public last year, also said it would acquire AI-powered event management platform BoomPop for an undisclosed amount. A person familiar with the matter said the cash-and-stock deal was valued at up to $95 million. During its earnings call, Nolf said the acquisition would have a "very low single-digit" revenue impact in fiscal 2027 and an immaterial effect on results this year.

Navan acquires AI events platform BoomPop to expand meetings and events offerings

Navan has acquired BoomPop, an AI-powered events platform founded in 2023. The acquisition expands Navan's offerings in meetings and events, providing customers a unified platform for travel, expense, payments, meetings, and events. BoomPop uses AI to help companies plan and manage events end-to-end, from venue sourcing to contracts and payments. The platform has supported events for approximately 250,000 people at companies including Accenture, Amazon, Google, Salesforce, and Shopify. BoomPop estimates it has helped customers reduce event costs by approximately 30% on average. The deal builds on a partnership announced earlier this year. Navan expects the acquisition to have no material impact on its previously issued financial guidance. The combined offering aims to address the meetings and events sector, where most spending occurs outside managed channels.
