Jan 10, 2022 Ayushi Tiwari
Looking back consciously helps in looking forward with more vigour, better understanding and umpteen ideas. Last year we successfully hosted a pretty cool mega industry event, delighted partners, old and new, launched the only event-based Community platform and well, our team grew from 10 to 30+, and we did win an award - ISACA Innovative Solutions Award 2022. The difference a year can make!
Let us scroll down to see what Eventcombo accomplished and learnt from 2021.
Shall we?
1. Eventicon 2021–The Comeback
The Eventcombo team planned and executed Eventicon 2021–The Comeback, most exciting inaugural industry event ever.
Eventicon 2021 was a virtual two-day event, which hosted an impressive line-up of globally reputed speakers, industry influencers, and event experts.
This event aimed to collectively bring together global thought leaders to discuss the future of events, in addition to evaluating the impact of these fast-paced changes on different industries and businesses. The growing trend of “Phygital” (physical+digital) events was the high point of discussions.
Karen Loftus, Adventuress in Chief of Women's Adventure Travels was the emcee for the event. The speakers shared success stories and best practices, which lead to enthusiastic participation by attendees via Fireworks™ by Eventcombo, a virtual and integrated event platform.

2. Eventcombo Launched Wellness Works on Fireworks™
Eventcombo organized a virtual wellness event. The session’s aim was to help in reducing stress, and thus strengthen the immune system with the incorporation of guided meditation and yoga sessions.
Wellness Works was organized on August 4, 2021 on Firework™ by Eventcombo. This daylong event was packed with powerful sessions. Wellness and fitness experts advised on strategies that can be easily adopted to achieve mental and physical well-being.
3. Kennesaw State University (KSU)—education events reinvented
KSU hosted a state of the art first of its kind virtual career fair on Fireworks™ by Eventcombo. Students discovered new employment opportunities and got a chance to interact with over 30 employers in a consolidated event.
Disruptions in the education sector weren’t uncommon last year, and Eventcombo’s innovative solution helped hundreds of students and employers to network in meaningful ways. Nicole Pearce, Assistant Director of Strategic Partnerships at KSU shared her experience over a live show hosted on October 6, 2021.
“Students at KSU faced major challenges this year in connecting with employers and participating in career fairs. We have found a perfect virtual solution in Fireworks™ by Eventcombo. It offers unlimited customization, easy navigation and hassle-free login, and provides ease of access,” shared Nicole.
Having tried and tested nine (yes, nine) different platforms, Nicole still couldn’t find the perfect solution to resolve the needs of KSU.
Eventcombo team resolved the issue under a single dashboard setting.
Eventcombo was Nicole’s first choice for the following reasons:
- Customization, easy navigation for all parties involved
- Innovative design and multiple virtual rooms
- No application download required
- Automatic reminders for students, clickable links, and handouts Fireworks™ by Eventcombo created space for students and employers to network.
