As a technology pioneer in the events industry, we have been driving innovation for more than 35 years. Today, we are the world’s leading venue and event management platform.
1985
Ungerboeck Systems Inc. Is Founded
A young couple, Catherine and Dieter Ungerboeck, founded the company as a small startup in Chesterfield, Missouri. At the time, the company was building custom solutions for the process manufacturing industry. The small team was led by Dieter Ungerboeck, in charge of customer relationships, and his wife Catherine, who was leading the development of the software.
1989
The First Venue and Event Management System
Ungerboeck Systems Inc. received a request from the St.Louis Convention and Visitor Bureau and Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau to build a custom solution for venue and event management. Following the advice of IBM, a business partner at the time, Ungerboeck took on the two projects and secured ownership of the code created. The software was named EBMS, which stands for Event Business Management Software. The company has kept on improving the platform to answer the needs of the venue and events industry ever since.
2012
The Rebrand to Ungerboeck Software International
The company then completely revamped the user experience of its venue and event management software. With the release of its browser-based Version 20, the company rebranded to Ungerboeck Software International and the software name became Ungerboeck software. The shift towards browser-based software and increased usability was an important milestone in our history.

The Birth of Customer-centric Software
