In a February 4 feature on CEO.CA’s “Inside the Boardroom,” CEO Evan Gappelberg detailed how Nextech3D.ai has built a unified AI-powered operating system for enterprise event management. The platform integrates semantic AI–driven registration, interactive floor plans and real-time analytics to centralize operations across multiple regions. Gappelberg noted that clients using the system have reported a 35% reduction in planning time and a 20% increase in attendee engagement scores, driven by personalized content recommendations and on-demand spatial insights. The company’s three core modules—Eventdex for registration, MapD for spatial intelligence and Krafty Labs for experiential engagement—are now deployed by over 50 Fortune 500 enterprises, with annual recurring revenue growth topping 45% year-over-year.

Nextech3D.ai has expanded its Krafty Labs experiential portfolio through a new agreement with simulation provider The Squadron. The partnership introduces advanced flight simulations—including F-35 fighter jet modules and multi-crew cooperative scenarios—into leadership development and team-building programs. Initial deployments will include ten full-motion cockpit rigs at corporate events in New York, London and Singapore, slated for Q2 2026. Gappelberg expects the collaboration to drive a 25% uplift in premium engagement bookings, as enterprises seek differentiated experiences that blend AI-enabled data capture with immersive VR content.

Nextech3D.ai secured its first Tier 1 enterprise starter agreement with a global universal bank and financial services company, encompassing a pilot of three in-person leadership events across Canada, Germany and Australia. The program will leverage Krafty Labs’ spatial engagement tools alongside MapD’s interactive floor plans to deliver coordinated multi-venue experiences. Under the contract, Nextech3D.ai will generate pilot revenues of CAD 600,000 in H2 2026, with a broader rollout across 12 markets planned for Q3 2026. The deal underscores the company’s shift toward larger recurring contracts, contributing to a pipeline of enterprise commitments exceeding CAD 5 million for the coming year.
