IAVM - VenueConnect Conference

The HoldMyTicket team recently returned from Phoenix, where we had a booth at IAVM's 86th Annual VenueConnect Conference and Trade Show!

The Phoenix Convention Center

The International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) is an organization committed to the professional operation of amphitheaters, arenas, auditoriums, convention centers, exhibit halls, performing arts venues, race tracks, stadiums and university complexes. Thats a pretty wide range of operations so we were able to interact with many facets of the industry. From venue infrastructure like seating and lighting, to crowd control and ticketing, everything to do with events was represented. The HMT team arrived with our mobile box office. Our setup included ticket printers, iPod scanners, a few Mac Minis, and a bunch of monitors. We had workstations set up for patrons to demo our software, even print sample tickets. For fun we gave away HMT Ninja stickers and 'Show Me Your Barcodes' t-shirts, which were a hit!

We made some great contacts and enjoyed fraternizing with our potential clients. Being amongst the largest names in the ticketing industry was slightly nerve-racking at first, but then we realized our software is not only on par with our competition, its cutting edge and industry leading. Like our proprietary interactive seating charts which are iPad/iPhone friendly. We believe those who took the time to learn about us saw a better ticketing solution. A big thanks to everyone who took part in preparing and managing the conference! We look forward to returning for the next one. -HMT
