eShow and Bear Analytics Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Powerful Unified Event Intelligence

Collaboration empowers event organizers with robust management technology and actionable analytics

South Barrington, IL & Arlington, VA – August 6, 2025 – eShow, a leading provider of event management solutions, and Bear Analytics, the event industry’s premier data analytics platform, today announced a strategic partnership designed to equip event professionals with an integrated solution that spans both event execution and actionable event insights.

This partnership brings together eShow’s robust suite of planning and execution tools with Bear Analytics’ flagship platform, Bear IQ, to deliver a seamless experience for event organizer’s leadership, from registration and session management to real-time reporting and long-term strategic planning. Clients of both companies will benefit from a new level of visibility into attendee engagement behavior, revenue trends and forecasts, and event performance metrics, enabling them to make more timely, more informed decisions that drives growth and maximizes ROI on marketing spend.

“We’re excited to collaborate with Bear Analytics to bring a new dimension of intelligence and actionable insights to the event lifecycle,” said Raju Patel, CEO and Founder of eShow. “By integrating Bear IQ with our platform, we’re giving our clients the power to not only manage their events efficiently, but also to rapidly understand what’s working, what’s not, and how to continuously elevate the attendee experience.”

“This partnership is about taking advantage of the great value available through data that historically goes untapped,” said Joe Colangelo, CEO and Co-Founder of Bear Analytics. “Together with eShow, we’re closing the loop between event planning, execution, and insight – offering organizers a holistic,  end-to-end view of their event performance and the tools to act on it.”

The integration enables users to easily pull data from eShow’s ecosystem into Bear IQ dashboards and reports, making it simple to monitor key performance indicators such as y-o-y registration trends, exhibitor and sponsorship revenue, attendee engagement, session attendance, and more—all in real time and without the need for manual uploads or fragmented data sources.

This partnership reflects a shared vision between eShow and Bear Analytics: to empower event organizers with the tools and intelligence they need to plan, grow, and deliver meaningful, high-impact events.

This joint offering is now available. Current clients of either company are encouraged to reach out to their account representative to learn more about how they can activate the integration.
