In April 2018, a platform was launched with the aim of addressing the challenges faced by professionals in locating relevant events to attend. Initially listing 30 professional events, the platform expanded rapidly, accumulating over 500 events and more than 300 registered users within its first six months. The platform’s revenue model is diversified across multiple streams.
"Sponsorship Assist" provides support to event organizers in attracting suitable sponsors and exhibitors, enhancing the financial backing and visibility of events. "Speaker Assist" simplifies the process of organizing speakers by managing calls for papers and identifying appropriate speakers, thus alleviating associated logistical burdens for event planners.
"Venue Assist" aids in the selection of ideal locations for events and associated social gatherings, ensuring suitability and satisfaction for event stakeholders. Additionally, "Featured Events" work to boost the prominence of certain events by effectively targeting the desired audience, increasing engagement and attendance rates.
The platform also extends its services to include "Post-Event Sale," which involves the monetization of event content and media post-event, enabling event organizers to maximize their returns through the platform. Furthermore, the platform facilitates ticket sales by generating leads, contributing to the profitability of the events. Finally, advertising services encompass various travel and accommodation needs, offering options for flight, hotel, restaurant, and car rental bookings to cater to event participant necessities, thus enhancing the overall event experience.
