Attribution, event ROI and the gap between what teams believe events produce and what their systems record.
Ads, email and the website write their results into the CRM automatically, while events still run on spreadsheets, and that gap explains more about event ROI than any attribution model.
Marketers say events drive half their wins, CRM attribution credits them with a sliver, and the defensible answer sits in data most teams never collect.
First-touch, last-touch and linear models credit only what a system records, which is why a dinner attended by half a buying group can register as nothing, and why event teams need to measure who was in the room, account by account.
With Forrester now counting 13 internal stakeholders and 9 outside influencers in a typical B2B purchase, account coverage is the number that tells you whether a hosted event did its job, and contact-level lead scoring cannot see it.
A useful recap answers three questions on one page, and AI can draft it quickly, provided it only ever writes from numbers a human has already checked.
Headcount and satisfaction scores tell leadership the event happened; these eight tell them whether it reached the accounts and deals that matter.
