Evexus aims to fill 'significant gap' in event management software market

Australia-based tech platform evexus has officially launched after five years of development, aiming to fill a “significant gap” in the market for event management software. The new software harnesses technology such as AI, sequential registration and pay first billing. The product originated in 2018 as an internal platform designed to support registration, live streaming and video-on-demand hosting for large-scale hybrid events. The evexus founders said the genesis of the product stemmed from a “crucial realisation” that event planners grappled with outdated, intricate, and inefficient event management technology. They said these systems not only wasted precious time and resources but also posed significant risks to businesses, as well as enabling dedicated staff to navigate through their complexities. Evexus will offer a central events hub where people and technology connect, aiming to make it easier for event planners to manage a range of event types, from in-person conferences to educational webinars. The product introduces a sequential registration system, equipped with cloning and drag-and-drop form builders, as well as a productivity toolkit and all in one platform. Jordan Walsh, co-founder of evexus, said: “The platform has been in development for five years and is dedicated to elevating the event experience. “Our goal is to transform the way events are managed by providing a solution that is not only efficient but also reliable and easy to use. We believe that by eliminating the complexities associated with traditional event technology, we can help event planners deliver exceptional experiences.” Marcel van Egdom, head of product at evexus, said: “From intuitive registration systems to AI-assisted live builds, our platform empowers organisers to craft immersive event experiences that captivate and engage attendees like never before.” The product is backed by venture capital firms AirTree Ventures and Skip Capital and used by major associations and corporate clients throughout the Asia-Pacific region. It will be available to the public from 4 July. Evexus offers a suite of event management features, including a registration system, branded event websites, real-time program management tools, a mobile event app and QR code-based self-check-in options. The product also supports live translation, multi-lingual assistance, e-poster terminals, AI-assisted live builds, and gamification elements. It will enable organisers to accomplish tasks such as the promotion of sponsors, providing on-demand content, gathering data insights and live streaming events in real-time.
