The Big Idea
Why does planning an event take so much time and hard work?
Because nobody really knows where to start. And that’s a real problem. It’s an obstacle for events suppliers too, forcing them to rely on word-of-mouth or expensive, shotgun advertising to attract business.
Eventerprise, a global events platform, is changing that by connecting transparently reviewed event managers, - services, - products and venues (event suppliers) with private and corporate clients who want to organise events of any type.
