EventElephant Makes Light Work of Managing Events

A leading IT consulting company, has today announced that stress-free events are now only a click away thanks to its partnership with on-demand event management provider, EventElephant. Kainos‘s Web delivery team provided the technical and project management skills to oversee and build the EventElephant site which went live in January this year.
Since then the site has managed events for organisations like Ericsson, who used the system to register attendants for the Volvo Ocean Race’s stop-over in Galway Ireland, the Sales Institute of Ireland, the European Insurance Forum 2009 & Corporate Treasury & Cash Management Conference 2009 and a major US-based breast cancer charity. EventElephant not only transforms attendee management for organisers of these events, it also makes a huge difference to their bottom lines.

EventElephant is the brain-child of Irish chartered accountant Eamon O’Brien and serial tech entrepreneur Ron Downey. The pair identified a gap in the market for an automated web-based event management service that would take the organisational strain off event organisers, increase event attendance and make a difference to a company’s bottom line. Investors were soon on board and the search was on for an IT services partner to build a facility that would power each unique event website with a state-of-the-art online event registration and attendee management system that takes care of all the admin and technical requirements, all by itself. Kainos was selected to deliver the infrastructure and technology to support the new service.

“There’s no easier, faster or more cost-effective way to create, manage, promote and sell-out your event,” comments Eamon O’Brien. “Event organisers that use EventElephant to run every aspect of their event online are reaping significant benefits typically boosting ticket sales by around 20%, reducing operating costs by between 35% and 40% and eliminating hassle and stress. Together with Kainos we have produced a world-class event management service that uniquely caters for simple or multi-page sites and this breadth of capability defines us as leaders in our field.”

Brendan Mooney, MD of Kainos adds, “We are no strangers to success when it comes to delivering first-class websites that exceed expectations and drive market share. High profile sites such as FBD Insurance and the NSPCC National Safeguarding Unit websites were built by Kainos delivery teams.” Brendan continues, “This partnership with EventElephant is another example of how well we blend teams to deliver state of the art websites. Hassle-free event management that is simple, accessible and on-demand is a very powerful proposition to any event organiser, in any market. ”
