Events.com is a new cloud-based mobile app that launched in February. Users can search for events, purchase tickets, and share events on their social networks. The system also displays Twitter and Facebook posts about the event and a map of the event location.
Eventjoy is an event management platform now owned by Ticketmaster that allows users to find events and buy tickets through the app. In January the app added new features, including the ability to chat with event organizers and view a live stream of social buzz around the event from Twitter and Instagram. Each listing in the app can include things such as maps, venue photos, and profiles of speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors. Users can also find out which of their friends are going and send personal invitations to those who are not.
Fever launched in 2013 and is currently live in New York and Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona in Spain, with London launching soon. The app creates a personalized list of things to do based on the user's interests and the friends and trendsetters they follow. Fever provides “tastemaker intel” based on partnerships with trendsetters in each city who allow the app to show where they are going and what they are doing. As users purchase tickets and attend events through the app, the system learns their preferences and customizes suggestions based on those past behaviors. As of February the app has more than one million users worldwide.
