Company Showcase: eduvent.at
Eduvent combines the words “education“ and “event“. It is a service that provides professional searching and registration for educational events like a mathematic lecture, a discussion meeting that deals with globalization or a recruiting event of a consulting company. Eduvent is the perfect link between young, involved people and excellent events. We communicate educational offerings in a fast and easy way, tailored to the individual needs of the seekers and suppliers.
Our platform promotes further educational and carrier events addressing students and young professionals, no matter if they are just looking for a single event or want to be regularly updated. Our service substitutes the costly and time consuming search on websites and a flood of annoying newsletters from different hosts.
Hosts are enabled to promote and administer their presentations, workshops, lectures, symposia and similar events in a central, fast and easy way. Further upcoming features will be a ticketing service and a facebook application.
All founders of eduvent are students, who met at the startup weekend in Vienna.
“Without the Startup Weekend Vienna I would have never found such a great team and idea. Startup Weekend is an awesome combination of a networking and a performing event. I often ask myself how I could get along without it. I am already looking forward to the next Startup Weekend to meet new people and get started on new projects.” – Jochen Schanbacher, Startup Weekend participant and co-founder of eduvent.
