Navan has acquired BoomPop for an undisclosed amount, bringing the event management platform into its corporate travel and expense management ecosystem. The deal, which has closed, makes BoomPop a wholly owned subsidiary of Navan, with its team and technology integrated into the larger company’s operations.
BoomPop, previously an independent company, built its reputation as a next-gen event management platform designed for corporate doers. Its software handles the complexity of group travel coordination and event planning, from venue selection to attendee logistics. Navan, for its part, provides a unified platform for business travel booking, expense reporting, and corporate card management, serving companies that need streamlined financial operations across employee spending.
The acquisition is strategic for Navan because group events and offsites represent a significant and often fragmented category of corporate spend. By folding BoomPop’s capabilities into its own offering, Navan can now manage a broader share of a client’s travel-related budget, from individual flights to multi-day team gatherings. For BoomPop, joining Navan means access to a larger sales force, deeper engineering resources, and an established customer base, allowing its product to scale beyond what it could achieve alone.
The combined entity will offer a more complete solution: Navan’s existing travel and expense tools will now connect directly with BoomPop’s event planning workflow, reducing friction for finance teams that previously had to reconcile event costs manually. Customers of both companies can expect a single interface for booking, approving, and tracking group travel expenses, with BoomPop’s platform continuing to operate under the Navan brand.
With the integration underway, the focus shifts to execution. Navan will need to merge BoomPop’s data systems with its own while preserving the event platform’s user experience, which was built for speed and simplicity. If successful, the acquisition positions Navan to capture more corporate travel spend, particularly in the offsite and conference segment, where demand has remained steady even as individual business travel patterns fluctuate.
