Limvirak Chea, Eventbrite’s VP of Business Development in EMEA tells us how important this growing market is for Eventbrite in Europe: “We saw over 60,000 music festivals and concerts on Eventbrite worldwide in 2013 and have some really impressive events already live for 2014. We pride ourselves on providing robust technology, a simple experience for festival-goers and on giving organisers the marketing and data tools they really need. This means they can spread the word, manage multiple gates efficiently and make a strong business case to sponsors and partners so they can see success year after year.”
