New buyers (Stova unified platform or Cvent / Bizzabo better fit), buyers wanting modern UX (Bizzabo better), or organizations wanting full event lifecycle without merger-era technical debt.
Existing Aventri legacy customers (200-5,000 employees) evaluating renewal options post-Stova merger, with awareness that migration to unified Stova or alternative platforms is the realistic 2026-2027 decision.

- ! Brand and account team continuity disrupted
- ! Product velocity on legacy environment minimal
- ! Many legacy customers evaluating alternatives at renewal
- ! No native badge printing depth
- ! MAP / CRM integration limited on legacy environment
