Experience-driven Vision and Empathy for Event Organizers
EventHub’s mission is to help event organizers realize their goals, be that to maximizing attendance, to grow event revenue, or simply to run it all efficiently with a small team. We do this by providing event planners modern event management software and ticketing technology, supported by an expert servicing and support team. Our Co-founders Michael and Jamie have spent a collective 20+ years in the events industry. Their pre-EventHub experience included producing entire festivals and managing nationwide sponsorship activations for global brands. They’ve done 4am load-ins in the mud and rain, and they’ve reconciled cash box offices past 1am in the morning. These experiences led them to found EventHub, with the realization that there was an industry need for a platform that could streamline management processes, and create efficiencies within b2b partner workflows. A few years later in EventHub’s history, Michael and Jamie realized a similar need for easy-to-use, mobile-first ticketing and added this capability to our offering. As a result, our community of hundreds of events-based organizations rapidly expanded from festivals, fairs, and sporting events, to include venues such as arenas and amphitheaters. Our platform is designed to help small teams do more.
A unique aspect for an event management and ticketing technology company is EventHub’s sponsorship marketplace. More than 130,000 buyers who generate over 1 million monthly Google Search impressions use the marketplace to shop customer event booth and sponsorship opportunities on the platform. These buyers include national brands, marketing agencies, and regional and local businesses with active event marketing programs.
EventHub also offers affordable and to-scale event booth mapping products and attendee guides. These can include a registration view for vendor and sponsors to submit space preferences within an application, a back-end editor for making real-time layout edits and space assignments, and an embeddable public guide complete with a map, vendor directory, sponsor list, schedule, program, FAQ, and more.
