While volunteering to help organize monthly campouts for his son's local scout troop, David Wood inherited a traditionally manual process of using spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls to plan monthly campouts for 250 people. Besides requiring significant volunteer time, the process was inherently inefficient and error prone. Using his design experience at Microsoft, he began envisioning a generalized software solution that could unify all the core elements for planning an event.
After carefully researching the market, David founded Eventene in 2016, with the goal of aiding youth organizations in managing their membership rosters and planning their regular gatherings, field trips, campouts, and offsites. The company launched its first product in 2018, under a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
In the years to follow, Eventene evolved and matured into a comprehensive event management system, appealing to corporations and non-profit associations. Positioned as an alternative to Cvent for the mid-market, Eventene provides organizations with a single system to plan all their events throughout the year, including internal offsites, sales meetings, social gatherings, conferences, summits and tradeshows. The platform's ability to adapt to a wide variety of event types and integrate with a customer's existing systems makes Eventene an excellent choice for activity directors and event planners, worldwide.
Eventene stands out among a competitive field by offering a comprehensive yet affordable cloud-based and mobile-centric event management solution, featuring an intuitive easy-to-learn user interface for both organizers and attendees.
