In a revealing Event Industry News podcast appearance, Eventwise CEO Chris Carter sat down with industry veteran James Dickson to share the unexpected path that led to creating our game-changing financial platform for the events industry.
Before Eventwise transformed how event professionals manage their finances, Chris was immersed in Bristol’s vibrant music scene as a promoter. But it was his fascination with the business side of events – particularly the universal struggle with financial management – that sparked a vision for something better.
“The events industry runs on creativity and bold ideas. But for too long, we’ve been stuck with rigid spreadsheets that don’t speak our language,” Chris explains in the interview. “We built Eventwise because we lived these challenges firsthand. We knew there had to be a better way.”
The conversation delves deep into how Eventwise emerged as the answer to the industry’s financial headaches. Chris discusses our platform’s seamless integration with major ticketing systems, our powerful scenario planning tools, and how we’re putting real-time budget control into the hands of creative professionals – all without the complexity that often plagues financial software.
But perhaps most compelling is the story of transformation – both personal and professional – that underlies our mission. Chris’s journey from promoting events to revolutioniaing how they’re managed financially reflects our core belief: that the best solutions come from within the industry itself.
