As Poslovni Dnevnik/Lucija Spiljak writes on the 26th of September, 2020, Maja Bosanac, the owner of Eventful and the first EEE (Ecology, Ethics and Efficiency) Event Manager in Croatia, will launch Croatia's first complete online event platform later this year.
The goal of Eventful's brand new online platform is to provide an adequate replacement for the organisers of events who, in this situation, have no alternative for their planned events, but also for those events that they didn't even start working on due to the arrival of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Eventful platform will have space for keynote speakers or panels to be held at conferences, and in parallel with them, smaller lectures lasting 30 to 45 minutes can be shown. Participants will be able to visit a virtual sponsorship corner where sponsors will advertise their services and also be able to communicate with participants.
''There will be a database of all participants who've given their consent for their data to be used for registration in the networking area. Other participants will be able to search that database according to their interests and personal information such as the job or the company in which the person works, and get in touch with them via the chat option. There's also information about the event, the schedule of lectures, and also all the information that the organisers would otherwise print on the materials,'' explained Eventful's owner, Maja Bosanac, who, due to the pandemic, focused on education online and in business, with sustainable events as a constant thing for her business.
The platform, developed by Agilos IT, should be launched in early December after passing several more tests. Maja and her team have been working on it since April this year, and the initiator came up with the idea in March just before the "lockdown" that shook the event industry.
"We expect increased interest, both from organisational agencies and from organisers from companies,'' stated Maja, adding that normalisation for this industry can't be discussed for at least another three years, and in this situation and in the near future, the focus of clients will, according to Bosanac, be removed from the holding of events because the priority will be the stability and recovery of their companies.
