Event tech company Aventri has launched a new partnership with Uber for Business, which will offer customers the opportunity to use Uber vouchers.
This web-based tool allows organisers to give attendees to their events vouchers redeemable in Uber taxis. It aims to cut down logistics and time spent transporting attendees for organisers.
The partnership is part of the company’s new platform Aventri Marketplace, which it bills as ‘a one-stop shop for events’. It gives customers access to transportation, event promotion, budget management, staffing, payment processing and more.
Marketplace is designed for event planners, connecting them to resources and logistical information needed to make decisions around an event.
