Why We’re Here

At EventBooking, our mission is to improve the lives of venue professionals. We do this by providing software that simplifies their day-to-day jobs and enables them to spend more time doing the things they love.

We have a history of helping venues, and the teams within them, flourish. In 1999, founder & CEO John Platillero saw the need for an online way for venues to book and manage events. His vision was a simple but powerful one—to create a tool for venue professionals to access, manage, and share event information from anywhere in real time. Not a novel concept today, but it was for the late 1990s. In those days, no one was using 100% web-based software—or “cloud based” as we know it today.

EventBooking not only survived the “dot com” burst of the early 2000s but steadily grew, attracting venue networks such as ASM Global and Spectra.

Today, EventBooking serves over 1,000 arenas, convention centers, multi-complexes, performing arts centers, and more across 24 countries—including the new SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles), San Diego Convention Center (San Diego), Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre (Shanghai), Dubai Arena (Dubai), The Shed (NYC), and Fox Theatre (Atlanta).

CORE VALUES

When you get down to it, it’s all about people. Each of our core values guides us to achieve our mission and serve the great people of the event industry:

SERVANT’S HEART

Our business model is “Software as a Service ” and we really mean it. A Servant’s Heart is required to work at EventBooking. It’s the cornerstone of our 4 core values.

INNOVATOR’S MIND

No process or solution is ever completely finished. EventBooking was born from an innovative idea, and we’ve grown because of that ongoing pursuit of innovation.

PLAYFUL SPIRIT

Don’t forget to have fun! Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” A playful spirit is not only important, but contagious.

OWNER’S GRIT

“Owner’s Grit” means taking extreme ownership and pride in your work. “Owning” one’s role is critical for building industry-leading software.

COMPANY CULTURE

As a “people first” company, we focus on making EventBooking an enjoyable place to call home for our staff. After all, a happy employee translates to better, more genuine service to our clients! EventBooking is among the nation’s “Best Workplaces,” as recognized by Inc. Magazine for two years in a row, and is consistently recognized for it’s outstanding work environment.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Encouraging Equity

We believe that diversity, inclusivity, and equity is not a “nice-to-have bonus,” but rather a necessity with imperative, holistic benefits.

Equity impacts culture for the better. We value diversity and inclusivity, but we also know that simply valuing something isn’t enough. Real improvement happens when we move beyond awareness and into action, and there is always work to be done in this regard—on a personal, organizational, and industry level.

In this spirit of action and tangible impact, EventBooking allocates financial resources to support industry-leading organizations, such as the IAVM Diversity and Inclusiveness Leadership Committee, which promotes equitable and inclusive practices within the ranks of the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM).
