EventUp End Of Year Review 2020

2020 has certainly been an interesting year, but for EventUp it has been a BUSY year. Back in March of this year, Gather which owned EventUp merged with Tripleseat, the leader in event management software for restaurants, hotels, and unique venues. Together, Tripleseat, VENUES by Tripleseat, legacy Gather, and EventUp - became a suite of products that entirety supports the events industry from soup to nuts (literally and figuratively).

With EventUp joining the ranks, we have been able to connect with venues on a deeper level. Opening the door to their marketing efforts and strategies, we have been allowed behind the curtain to review their current efforts and become a channel partner - helping to generate leads and grow their events business and revenue.

On the other side of events, we have also jumped headfirst into the event planning world - connecting with both social and corporate event planners to be able to build a community that streamlines the event planning process so you can browse for the perfect venue, book directly with that venue, as well as get tips and tricks on hosting a party in only a few clicks. 

Let’s take a look back at some of EventUp’s biggest accomplishments over the past year:
