About Vendelux

Vendelux is an AI-powered event marketing intelligence platform that helps B2B companies identify which events to attend, sponsor, or organize based on data rather than guesswork. The platform uses 65+ million data points from 160,000+ events to predict ROI, identify events that align with our ideal customer profiles (ICPs), and provide clear ROI metrics to justify event investments.

This implementation enables GitLab’s field marketing teams to make data-driven event decisions.
