Eventastic – AC Demo

Eventastic Launches Cutting-Edge Event Management Platform

Eventastic, an AC Graduate specializing in online ticketing, launched their new event management platform today.

The innovative site offers features that tailor to user-experience and functionality.

“The new platform offers customizable event websites, that are faster and simpler to create, with additional E-Commerce security,” explains Eventastic’s President, Randy Bird. “However, the pièce de résistance is the all new SaaS model that allows users to drive revenue, data, or donations through their company and events!”

The new platform was developed to improve customer experience, and increase awareness of the many services and features Eventastic offers. The design and functionality align with the high standard Eventastic has set within the event industry.

“Over the last year, we’ve been developing, at great expense, this user-centric platform; it wildly surpasses our beta platform. We’ve been ready to launch for weeks but waited. We weren’t going to launch it until it was perfect,” says Bird. “Perfect being defined as automatic in simplicity.”

Since its soft launch in 2014, Eventastic has graduated from the Accelerator Centre, relocated into its own local office, and has hosted more than 10,000 worldwide events on their site, from small parties to large conferences in unique venues, proving that this new event website is just one of Eventastic’s many successes.
