The venue and event management industry is constantly evolving, and with it, so are the venue and event technology innovations that the Momentus team is developing. As Chief Product Officer at Momentus Technologies, I’ve had the privilege of working with a talented team to reimagine what the future of venue and event management software can look like.
Today, I want to take you on a journey through the exciting venue and event technology innovations we’re working on. Discover how we're tackling industry challenges head-on and setting new benchmarks for operational excellence, efficiency, and unparalleled customer experiences.
Even though I haven't walked the halls of venues as an insider, I've felt the electrifying energy that events ignite. I’ve experienced this firsthand, whether it was being part of a roaring sports crowd at a college stadium or attending a Metallica concert — experiences that have left a lasting impression. Events have a unique ability to forge connections, spark inspiration, and create memories that last a lifetime.
To the venue and event managers out there — you are at the heart of making those moments possible.
Our story at Momentus Technologies is one rooted in innovation. It begin in 1989 when our founders, Catherine and Dieter Ungerboeck, received a request from the St. Louis Convention and Visitor Bureau and Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau to build the industry’s first venue and event management system. Following the advice of IBM, a business partner at the time, Catherine and Dieter took on the two projects and secured ownership of the code, and EBMS—Event Business Management Software — was born. Since then, we've been relentless in enhancing our platform to meet the evolving needs of the venue and events industry.
Today, the Momentus mission is to empower every venue to create extraordinary moments. We’re dedicated to providing innovative, intuitive solutions that solve real problems. In the past year alone, our venue and event management software has helped facilitate over one million events. Imagine the countless experiences and connections that have blossomed because of the events our technology supports.
From a venue and event management ROI perspective, our software helps drive more revenue, streamline operations, and give venue managers back valuable time. Who wouldn’t want more time in their day to focus on strategic tasks rather than manual processes?
But we’re not stopping there — our product portfolio is constantly evolving, and we’re laser-focused on delivering the best tools to meet your needs.
Looking ahead, our portfolio is anchored by purpose-built technology solutions tailored to the unique demands of different market spaces. Here’s a glimpse into the innovations we’re rolling out:
A common thread in our event technology conversations with venue managers is the need for heightened event operational efficiency. The ability to maximize revenue, reduce downtime, and create recurring customers is essential for success. Here’s how we’re addressing this:
Technology is not just a tool; it's a catalyst for transformation. At the heart of our innovation is a commitment to help you succeed in an ever-changing landscape. We're not just refining our existing venue and event management solutions — we're pioneering new ones.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most exciting advancements in event planning and execution. For instance, we’re experimenting with our AI-powered tool, Ask Momentus. This technology allows you to interact with your event data in real time — simply ask the system for insights, generate reports, or schedule events using natural language input. This hands-free, intuitive interaction not only saves you time but also enables more precise, data-driven decisions, allowing you to plan smarter and respond faster to evolving event needs.
The benefits of enhancing event execution and management through AI and other advanced technologies are far-reaching:
By embracing AI and other emerging technologies, we’re helping venues of all sizes enhance their event management capabilities, ultimately creating more successful and memorable events.
The future of event technology is incredibly promising. The so-called buzzwords — AI, advanced analytics, seamless user experiences — are becoming the bedrock of modern event management. Here's what we see unfolding:
