EventMploy established to connect event organisers with event professionals

In an Events and Festival Industry first - Event Operations Australia has established EventMploy - a website and App that solves the problem of event organisers and venue operators finding skilled event professionals for fixed date contracts.

The initiative is being delivered 12 months on from the shutting down of the 2020 Australian Grand Prix and every other event in Australia due to COVID-19.

Designed for the events and hospitality industries, EventMploy connects event organisers and event professionals (freelancers) based on skills, availability and location. Currently available in Australia the site will also be launched internationally. Wherever events are staged, EventMploy can help organisers find freelancers and freelancers find work.

Explaining why this type of program is needed in the industry, EventMploy Founder Lisa Price notes “after working on both sides of the problem, as an event organiser trying to find freelancers and as a freelancer trying to find work I knew there had to be a better way. Freelancers spend up to two hours a week trying to find their next gig and organisers have to trawl through Facebook feeds, their contacts lists or place ads with traditional recruiters to find people using precious time when they could be working on their event.”

Nicola Bond, Chief Executive of Alkye Services Pty Ltd - the website and app design and development partner of EventMploy - explains the added benefits of this platform for users “EventMploy’s personalised Calendar functionality, Chat functionality and Notification’s functionality in both the website and apps, allow speed and efficiency in managing your events, and give you the control over your event work while on-the-go.

“We’re are excited to partner with such a great initiative as the events industry bounces back from COVID; re-launching the website and Android App now, with the iOS App re-launch coming soon”.

Event Operations Australia is an events and venues consulting and training firm headed by Lisa Price a well-known venue industry expert having spent 27 years in the venue management and ticketing industry.
