BizBash and Eventbrite Announce New 2013 Partnership
BizBash, the trade media serving the creative needs of event, conference, and meeting planners, and Eventbrite, the leading online event registration and ticketing company, announced a partnership today to find and share “glass breaking” disruptive best practices for the event industry that are both forward-thinking and thought-provoking.
Eventbrite will work with BizBash to facilitate the hunt for and sharing of these disruptive glass-shattering conversations via a yearlong program of proactive research, webinars, and real-time face-to-face learning lounges at the 2013 BizBash IdeaFest trade shows in South Florida, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. As part of the ongoing research, both Eventbrite and BizBash will explore everything from new engagement techniques that encourage registration to the long tail of an event that will emotionally tie attendees.
"At Eventbrite, we're focused on using innovative mobile and online tools to address the challenges of event planning and management. By teaming up with BizBash and their vibrant community of event and conference planners, we're able to discuss the latest trends in the industry, and bring the efficiency, flexibility, and power of technology to planners all over the country," says Laura Coltrin, Eventbrite category marketing manager.
"This partnership is a perfect match because we're in the business of facilitating conversations with our audience of diverse planners, and the Eventbrite Lounge will be both a virtual and real location for these conversations to take place," said David Adler, C.E.O. and founder, BizBash.
