AI technology company CoBALT and event organizer IBEForuM have announced a strategic partnership to integrate the REALIZER platform into conference environments. The initiative aims to streamline sales workflows by introducing these AI capabilities to businesses across the Asia-Pacific region.
Why it matters
The partnership addresses the efficiency gap between initial professional meetings and subsequent sales follow-up actions. By automating administrative tasks within event settings, it seeks to improve lead conversion rates for participating organizations.
The REALIZER platform, currently active in seven countries, has demonstrated a reduction in administrative time from 70% to 28% of sales workflows. Additionally, the tool has improved lead conversion rates from a 47% baseline to over 70%.
The players
CoBALT
An artificial intelligence technology company with operations in Seoul and Singapore that develops automated sales workflow software.
IBEForuM
A Bengaluru-based international conference organizer that manages a network of professional companies and event environments.
The details
REALIZER functions by combining contact capture, engagement tracking, and AI-generated follow-ups to manage the sales cycle. The platform automates manual data entry and communication steps that typically consume the majority of sales staff time. CoBALT will facilitate the deployment of these capabilities through live product demonstrations at mutually agreed IBEForuM events, targeting companies in South Korea and the wider APAC region.

The Tech Race
The integration of AI platforms into high-traffic event environments follows the broader industry trend of embedding generative tools into B2B sales automation workflows. This effort places CoBALT in competition with established CRM-integrated AI solutions seeking to minimize administrative friction in professional networking.
Businesses participating in IBEForuM events will gain access to automated contact capture and AI-generated follow-up tools via the REALIZER platform. These companies can expect reduced manual administrative workloads and potentially higher lead conversion outcomes following initial engagement sessions.
The takeaway
The move signifies a shift toward automating post-meeting follow-ups at the source of business interactions. Industry observers should watch for the integration of REALIZER into upcoming IBEForuM conferences to confirm if the 70% lead conversion benchmark remains consistent in live, multi-regional settings.
