Calcalist reported that Bizzabo cut dozens of jobs in Israel and other locations. The company had about 150 employees before the cuts, according to the report.

Israeli business outlet Calcalist reported on September 2, 2026 that event technology company Bizzabo laid off dozens of employees in Israel and across its global operations. According to the report, the company had about 150 employees before the cuts. Bizzabo described the changes as a restructuring of its organizational structure to support a faster way of working and building for the events market. The exact number of roles cut was not disclosed.

  • Bizzabo was founded in 2011 by Eran Ben-Shushan, Boaz Katz and Alon Alroy.
  • Calcalist reports the company has raised about $200 million from investors including Insight Partners, Viola Growth, OurCrowd, Next47 and Pilot Growth Equity.
  • Its platform covers registration, ticketing, attendee apps, engagement, analytics and CRM integration for in-person, virtual and hybrid events.
  • Bizzabo said the decisions affect employees in Israel and around the world and that it is supporting affected staff.
