How Event-Led Growth can 2x revenue and increase pipeline
Moving from simply "doing events" to a strategic, holistic, integrated Event-Led Growth GTM motion can drive ARR, NRR, and GRR.
Over the past few years, there’s been an important shift.
B2B companies have moved from just “doing events” to Event-Led Growth.
What’s the difference?
A true ELG motion is a holistic, strategic GTM motion where organizations create personalized, immersive event experiences to drive ARR, GRR, and NRR.
Today, GTM Partners is launching our latest research report on Understanding Event-Led Growth. All our research is always available free to everyone on our Research Hub.

Introducing the Event-Led Growth Maturity Model
As with any other GTM motion, ELG requires increasing maturity over time.
A company that is early in its evolution and experiencing Problem-Market Fit may be at Level 1, meaning they're really after leads.
As a company moves into Product-Market Fit, GTM teams should be thinking about using events to get meetings and buy-in for their movement (Levels 2 and 3).
At Platform-Market fit, companies should be looking at events to drive purchase decisions (Level 4).
