Roadmap Highlights Multiple AI-Driven Growth Initiatives Designed to Expand the Company's Technology Platform and Long-Term Market Opportunity
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 3, 2026 / Nextech3D.ai (OTCQB:NEXCF)(CSE:NTAR)(FSE:1SS), an AI-first event technology platform company, today announced its Strategic AI Growth Roadmap, outlining key initiatives designed to expand the Company's AI-powered technology ecosystem across workforce intelligence, team engagement, and event technology markets. The roadmap builds upon Nextech's existing technology foundation and reflects the Company's vision of applying artificial intelligence to improve how organizations engage employees, customers, and event attendees.
The Strategic AI Growth Roadmap is centered around three core growth pillars:
AI Workforce Intelligence
Nextech is advancing the development of KraftyLab Intelligence™, an AI-powered workforce intelligence platform designed to help organizations better understand employee engagement, workplace culture, and team dynamics through actionable insights and analytics. The platform is intended to connect employee feedback, people analytics, AI-driven recommendations, coaching resources, and team engagement experiences within a unified ecosystem.
The Company believes growing demand for employee engagement solutions, workplace analytics, and AI-powered management tools represents a significant opportunity for innovation in the human capital management market.
Event Engagement & Experience Innovation
Nextech is exploring new ways to extend its event technology capabilities beyond traditional event management workflows by integrating AI-powered engagement solutions into live and virtual event experiences. The Company is evaluating opportunities to enhance audience participation, increase attendee engagement, and deliver new interactive experiences designed to improve event outcomes for organizers and exhibitors.
As organizations continue to seek measurable engagement solutions, Nextech believes AI-driven event experiences may represent a meaningful opportunity to expand its presence within the global events market
AI-Powered Event Monetization
Nextech is also evaluating the development of next-generation AI-powered lead capture and qualification technologies designed to improve how organizations generate business opportunities from events and exhibitions. The Company's vision includes utilizing AI to help exhibitors engage attendees, capture valuable prospect information, qualify leads, and streamline post-event sales workflows.
The initiative aligns with Nextech's strategy of leveraging its experience in event technology while exploring new software-driven revenue opportunities within the event ecosystem.
Building an Integrated AI Ecosystem
Nextech's Strategic AI Growth Roadmap is designed around a unified vision:
Apply AI to improve workplace engagement and organizational performance.
Expand audience engagement across live and virtual events.
Create intelligent tools that help organizations generate measurable business outcomes.
Leverage existing technology assets to pursue new software and platform opportunities.
By combining workforce intelligence, engagement technologies, and AI-powered event solutions, Nextech believes it is positioning itself to participate in several large and growing technology markets while building upon its existing expertise in events, engagement, and artificial intelligence.
CEO Commentary
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech3D.ai, commented: "We believe artificial intelligence is creating entirely new opportunities to improve how organizations engage employees, customers, and event attendees. Our Strategic AI Growth Roadmap reflects our commitment to developing innovative technologies that address real business challenges while leveraging the strengths of our existing platforms. We remain focused on disciplined execution as we evaluate opportunities to expand our technology ecosystem and create long-term shareholder value."
Nextech3D.AI has also renewed its share purchase warrant program, issuing 8,584,573 share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to service providers as part of their employment and consulting agreements. Each Warrant grants the right to acquire one common share at an exercise price of CAD$0.135 for a one-year period. The Warrants will be exercised in equal monthly tranches, with recipients able to either receive shares or participate in a managed sale program for cash proceeds. This move demonstrates the company's commitment to rewarding and retaining its talented workforce, while also aligning their interests with the company's long-term success.

Having invested in many small companies in the past I can fully appreciate how Nextech interacts and communicates to shareholders.

NOW-Nextech3D.ai is the only company combining event infrastructure with AI-driven engagement into a unified operating system, creating a powerful competitive moat as enterprises rapidly shift toward AI-driven event experiences.
Our most recent previously reported Q3 2026 quarter underscores this momentum: Click to Read

- Q3 Record 95% gross margins, demonstrating the scalability of our platform
These results confirm that we have entered a new phase of accelerating, high-margin growth, with continued momentum carrying into the current quarter and beyond.
We believe the market is still behind in recognizing this shift — and that Nextech is uniquely positioned to capitalize on it. Our focus remains on scaling enterprise adoption, increasing monetization, and executing against what we see as a significant growth opportunity ahead.

Dear Shareholders and Prospective Investors,
As we approach our June 30, 2026 audited financial results, I want to share why I believe Nextech3D.ai is entering an important new phase.
We have spent the last year simplifying the business, sharpening our focus, and building what we believe is an AI-powered Event Operating System and marketplace positioned for a large and growing global opportunity.
Our internal strategic view is that the broader event industry is approximately a $1 trillion market today, with the potential to approach $2 trillion over the next five years as AI, automation, data intelligence, and new monetization models reshape how events are run.
📈 Financial Momentum Is Emerging
Against that backdrop, our recent operating progress is important:
* We previously reported breakout Q3 performance, including strong year-over-year and sequential growth, alongside record gross margins
* We achieved cash flow positive operations, an important milestone
* We launched the Krafty Labs AI Event Marketplace
* We integrated hotel booking monetization through HotelPlanner
Based on our current internal tracking:
Q4 improved meaningfully from Q3, and we are currently tracking another sequentially higher quarter in Q1 2027
Our objective is not a single quarter of improvement — it is to demonstrate a repeatable pattern of sequential growth, improving operating leverage, and stronger revenue quality.
🏆 Enterprise Traction Is Expanding
We believe our traction is still underappreciated.
Our platform today supports over 1,000 customers globally, including:
* Google
* Microsoft
* Oracle
* Deloitte
* General Dynamics
In early 2026, we secured 50 new customer contracts, including organizations such as:
* Google
* Microsoft
* Deloitte
* OWASP
* Berkeley College
* Pretzl Group Ltd
* General Dynamics Information Technology
Through our acquisition of Krafty Labs, we have also expanded our enterprise reach to include relationships with:
* Meta
* Netflix
* Cisco
* Dropbox
As CEO, I believe this customer base demonstrates growing trust from enterprise, government, and institutional buyers, and positions us for continued expansion.
⚔️ Competing in a Large Market
We are building Nextech3D.ai to compete with legacy event technology platforms such as Cvent (a Blackstone-backed market leader)— but with a fundamentally different approach:
A unified, AI-native Event Operating System combined with a monetization marketplace
We believe this positions us to deliver a more modern, flexible, and scalable solution — while also providing investors with access to that upside through the public markets.
🚀 Sales Execution Is Scaling
We continue to strengthen our go-to-market organization and build out our enterprise sales capabilities.
My view is that we are in the early stages of building a repeatable, scalable enterprise sales engine, capable of converting our growing pipeline into meaningful revenue expansion.
⚡ Why June 30 Matters
On June 30, investors will see our audited results and have the opportunity to evaluate our progress.
I believe this will provide a clearer picture of:
* Our sequential growth trajectory
* Improvements in operating efficiency
* The evolution of our business model
* The foundation we are building for continued execution into 2027
🎯 Closing
Nextech3D.ai today is meaningfully different than it was 6–12 months ago.
* A clearer strategy
* A stronger operating model
* Growing customer traction
* And increasing exposure to a large, evolving global market
We believe we are now entering a phase where execution—not potential—will define the outcome.
We look forward to sharing more detail with you on June 30.
Sincerely,
Evan Gappelberg

Nextech3D.ai Surges Ahead – New Deal Fuels Record Momentum 🚀
Dear Shareholders,
We’re thrilled to announce that Nextech3D.ai has just secured a major new customer win, adding even more velocity to our record-setting sales momentum. This deal – on the heels of a flurry of recent victories – puts us firmly on track to achieve the highest monthly revenue in our company’s history and a record-breaking quarter. Our strategy of landing marquee clients and rapidly expanding within their organizations is clearly paying off, and the pace of growth is accelerating.
Relentless “Land & Expand” Momentum: In the past few weeks alone, we’ve added an impressive roster of high-profile customers and events across multiple industries and geographies, including:
* Yelp – Global tech leader known for connecting millions of consumers with local businesses (multi-billion-dollar enterprise with over 5,000 employees).
* Dana-Farber Cancer Institute – World-renowned oncology research and care center (among the nation’s largest, with thousands of medical professionals on staff).
* Rush Street Interactive (NYSE: RSI) – Top-tier digital gaming & sports betting company (a nearly $1?B annual revenue business with ~900 employees).
* County Sheriffs of Colorado – Statewide law enforcement association (representing all 64 counties in Colorado) – 2027 CSOC Winter Conference now running on our platform, underscoring our credibility in the public sector.
* Center for Safer Schools (Annual Summit) – Education safety conference led by state authorities – another vital government-sector event choosing Nextech3D.ai.
* Minority Construction Council (MCC) – Returning client now engaging our platform for 3 upcoming events, a testament to successful delivery and rapid account expansion.
* Spectapular Enterprises Pty Ltd – International event producer behind the 2026 Good Food & Wine Show series in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth – three high-traffic consumer expos now in our lineup (tens of thousands of attendees expected).
* NW Hort Expo (Northwest Horticultural Expo) – Major agriculture industry expo in Washington state (organized by the NCW Fieldmans Association), further extending our reach into new verticals.
* South Carolina Rural Water Association (SCRWA) – Statewide water industry association – their flagship annual event chose Nextech3D.ai to streamline operations for hundreds of utility professionals.
Each of these wins showcases the growing demand for our solutions. Just as importantly, they demonstrate the breadth of our market traction – from tech and healthcare, to government and global consumer events – proving that our platform’s value resonates across virtually every sector and geography. Our ability to land business with such prominent organizations and then quickly expand our footprint (for example, turning one-off engagements into multi-event contracts) confirms the effectiveness of our land-and-expand strategy.
Poised for Record Results: With this new deal signed and momentum compounding week by week, we anticipate a record revenue month and are on pace to deliver our strongest quarter ever. Our pipeline remains robust, filled with additional blue-chip prospects, and our team is capitalizing on every opportunity to drive growth. We’ve never been more confident that the best is yet to come.
In Summary: Nextech3D.ai’s growth engine is firing on all cylinders. We are capturing big-name clients, deepening relationships through expansion, and achieving performance milestones that position us for a truly breakout year.
Thank you for your continued support – we look forward to delivering even more exciting wins in the weeks ahead and sharing what promises to be a milestone quarter for our company.
Onward and upward,
More to come...

Get Ready for the 500Million Marketplace Launch!
$500M+ Internal Marketplace TAM — Powered by an AI Data-Gathering Event OS
Dear Shareholders,
Let’s be blunt: the market still undervalues Nextech as “event software.” That frame is outdated. Nextech is building an AI Event Operating System (Eventdex + Map D) and adding a transaction layer Krafty Labs Marketplace that sits directly inside exhibitor + sponsor spend.
And here’s the key point to make this crystal clear:
✅ We are NOT leaving the software space — software is still a massive TAM
Eventdex + Map D remain the foundation: registration, mapping, exhibitor monetization, lead capture, analytics, and event execution— the operating system that runs the event.
* Our investor materials cite an Event Management Software market size of ~$8.4B (2024) and position Nextech as the AI-powered operating system in that category.
* Independent market research estimates the EMS market at $8.40B in 2024, growing to $17.33B by 2030.
* Internally, we’ve framed the market as roughly ~$8–16B in 2024, expanding to ~$17–35B by 2029/2030
Translation: software remains the recurring, scalable core — and it’s a huge addressable market. Krafty doesn’t replace software. It multiplies it.
🚀 Now the part the market is underpricing:
NEW - Krafty Labs Marketplace TAM
Events are not just workflows. They are commercial ecosystems where exhibitors and sponsors spend real money for attention and leads. The global scale is enormous:
* 32,000 exhibitions worldwide in 2024
* 4.7 million exhibiting companies
* 318 million visitors
That’s not “engagement.” That’s a transaction economy — and Krafty is being built to sit directly in the flow of that spend.
💣 The Internal Krafty Marketplace TAM (within Nextech’s existing ecosystem)
We already operate over 1,000 events in our ecosystem, typically with 100–500 exhibitors per event, which implies:
👉 100,000 – 500,000 exhibitor participations across our events annually (our internal baseline).
Now apply a simple marketplace penetration scenario:
If 10%–20% of exhibitors purchase an activation through Krafty:
Low scenario: 10,000 – 20,000 purchases
High scenario: 50,000 – 100,000 purchases
At an illustrative ~$5,000 average exhibitor activation spend:
* $50M – $100M in marketplace volume (low case)
* $250M – $500M in marketplace volume (high case)
✅ Key takeaway: our current internal ecosystem alone supports ~$500M in potential exhibitor-side marketplace volume under stated assumptions.
Important: The figures above are illustrative scenario math based on stated assumptions (e.g., $5,000 per exhibitor activation) and are not financial guidance.
⚡ Sponsor Spend = the second accelerator
Sponsor transactions operate at much higher price points (often orders of magnitude higher than exhibitor activations). In our internal unit economics framing, an illustrative per-event model shows how exhibitors + sponsors can drive ~$10M of marketplace volume per event under stated assumptions.
Again: illustrative assumptions to demonstrate magnitude — not guidance.
The value beyond revenue: AI data-gathering operating system
Here’s the deeper strategic point that matters more than GMV:
Krafty isn’t just a marketplace. It’s a sensor network for the event.
Every activation is an AI data capture event:
* who engaged
* where they engaged (Map D)
* what they did
* what they scanned
* what converted into leads (Eventdex)
Our unified platform materials explicitly describe combining behavioral and spatial data into deeper analytics (heatmaps, traffic flow, and contextual reporting) — exactly the kind of instrumentation sponsors and exhibitors pay for.
And our EOS narrative is clear: the platform is built to replace fragmented point tools with one integrated system, and the Krafty experience layer upgrades event software into a measurable revenue platform by capturing high-intent engagement and generating quality leads.
Even our investor deck language frames Nextech as AI-native, with an AI layer (“Semantic Brain”) and AI workflows/matchmaking as part of the platform advantage.
This is the real moat: the marketplace doesn’t just add transactions — it adds data density, which increases:
* sponsor ROI proof
* exhibitor rebook rates
* organizer pricing power
* platform stickiness
That data flywheel is the long-term value beyond near-term revenue.
Why software + marketplace together is the re-rating setup
Most event software companies are capped by subscription ARPU.
Nextech is building a stack where:
* Software (Eventdex + Map D) runs the event (massive TAM, recurring engine).
* Marketplace (Krafty) monetizes the show floor and feeds the AI data OS with real engagement signals.
That’s how event software evolves into an AI monetization platform — the OS captures the workflow, the marketplace captures the spend, and the AI layer captures the intelligence.
Final takeaway...
If you only model Nextech as an $8B software TAM story, you’re missing the second engine:
✅ Software TAM is massive and still core
✅ Krafty internal marketplace TAM is ~ $500M (exhibitors alone, illustrative)
✅ The real long-term value is the AI data-gathering OS that turns engagement into measurable sponsor intelligence and event monetization.
This is not a pivot.
It’s a platform expansion.
Sincerely,
Evan Gappelberg

Why the $2.5 Trillion Events Industry Is the Defining Investment of This Decade
A Trillion-Dollar Industry Accelerating
The global events management market was valued at approximately $1.14 trillion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 12.8% through 2035, reaching an estimated $2.5 trillion, according to Grand View Research. Allied Market Research places the live events segment alone at $970 billion by 2030.
McKinsey & Company estimates $180–$280 billion in annual AI-driven value creation in the events sector through automation, personalization, and intelligent operations by 2030.
"The events industry is at an inflection point not unlike what e-commerce experienced in the early 2000s — the infrastructure is being rebuilt from the ground up."
When Apollo Speaks, Investors Listen
The most powerful signal in investment is where the world's most sophisticated capital allocators commit real dollars. The events technology sector has received its highest-conviction endorsement to date.
🏦Landmark Acquisition · Smart Capital Validation
Apollo Global Management Acquires Cvent for $4.6 Billion
Apollo Global Management — managing over $650 billion in assets — took Cvent private at $4.6 billion. Apollo's thesis: the events industry represents an undervalued, high-margin technology market at the beginning of an AI-driven transformation cycle.
The AI Transformation
10 Ways AI Is Reshaping the Events Industry

The Only Publicly Traded Pure-Play in AI-Powered Events Technology
In a sector attracting billions in private capital, there is — remarkably — only one publicly traded, pure-play company at the intersection of AI and the events industry: Nextech.
⚡Structural Scarcity · Unique Public Market Access
If You Want Public Market Exposure to AI + Events, There Is Only One Door.
Every major PE firm has deployed capital privately — locked away from public investors. Nextech is the singular exception. When sector awareness reaches mainstream investors, a single public vehicle does not re-rate gradually. It leads.
Apollo paid $4.6 billion for a private events tech platform. Nextech trades at a market cap a fraction of that size. The delta between private market valuations and Nextech's current public price represents one of the most compelling asymmetries available to investors today.
"When institutional capital is flooding a sector through private channels, the rare public vehicle that provides the same exposure commands a scarcity premium that can be multiples of intrinsic value alone."
— Bain & Company, Public Market Scarcity Dynamics, 2024
?
The Investment Case
Right Industry. Right Time. Right Technology.
The most consequential investment opportunities share a common structure: a large, inefficient market undergoing a technological paradigm shift, before the winner-take-most dynamic has played out.
Investment Thesis
? Market Size Confirms Conviction: At $1.1 trillion growing at 12.8% CAGR — larger than global cloud computing was in 2018, and growing faster.
? Institutional Smart Money Has Already Moved: Apollo's $4.6B Cvent deal, Blackstone, Vista Equity, and KKR have all stress-tested and committed.
? The Only Public Pure-Play — Scarcity Premium: Nextech is the only publicly traded AI events technology company in the world. Scarcity of investable supply meeting growing demand produces decisive re-ratings.
? AI Adoption Is Early-Stage: Gartner's 2025 Hype Cycle places events AI at the "Innovation Trigger" to "Early Majority" transition.
? Post-Pandemic Demand Is Secular: Bain & Company found demand for in-person events exceeds 2019 levels in 78% of categories.
? Infrastructure Layer Captures Maximum Value: High switching costs, data network effects, expanding monetization per customer. Nextech is building the infrastructure layer.
"We are at the beginning of a decade-long AI adoption cycle in experiential commerce. The companies building the intelligent infrastructure for events are in a position analogous to AWS in 2010."
"Just as Windows became the OS for the PC and iOS became the OS for the smartphone — Next EOS 1.0 is the first operating system purpose-built for the global events industry."
Why This Changes Everything
Every great technology era is defined by its operating system. With Next EOS 1.0, Nextech Event Solutions is staking a claim to be the foundational layer upon which the entire $2.5 trillion events industry runs. First-mover advantage at the OS layer is nearly impossible to displace — ask Microsoft, Apple, or Google.
From the Team at Nextech Event Solutions
"Thank you for your support. The best is ahead of us — and we are just getting started."
? Stay Tuned ?
The Bottom Line
Being in the Right Industry
at the Right Time Is Everything
The global events industry is a once-in-a-generation investment opportunity. Nextech Event Solutions is building the infrastructure — and with the launch of Next EOS 1.0, the operating system era for events has officially begun.

📈 WHAT THIS MEANS
We are now clearly operating at a different level:
✅ Selling into multi-billion-dollar enterprises
✅ Expanding within organizations with thousands to hundreds of thousands of employees
✅ Building pathways to multi-event, multi-year contracts
✅ Positioning Nextech as core infrastructure for events and experiences
💥 CEO PERSPECTIVE
The opportunity is no longer defined by individual deals —
it is defined by enterprise platform expansion inside large-scale organizations.
We are building:
? A repeatable enterprise sales engine
? A multi-product ecosystem
? A foundation for long-term recurring revenue
Customers are not just adopting one product —
they are increasingly adopting the entire platform.
🚀 THE BOTTOM LINE
We are moving from:
➡️ Selling individual solutions
➡️ To owning enterprise relationships
➡️ To building platform-level revenue streams across global organizations
And importantly — the full impact of this shift has not yet been realized.
This is only the beginning.
