Who we are
EVENTIVAL is a European company in the entertainment, technology and media industry, and the creator and provider of world-leading film festival data management and production software system developed over the past two years to help manage film and other festivals, markets and other cultural and social events. As personalities with a long track record in the film festival industry, the company founders also provide consulting for festivals aiming to streamline their artistic and logistical operations or get new content, and for producers wishing to enter their films to festivals and markets.
Founded in 2008, Eventival has spent three years developing its software and is now focusing on distributing it among film festivals and other companies, as well as securing partnerships with other key players in the film festival and industry.
Eventival has clients and partners around the world, and collaborates with BTL, a prominent manufacturer of physical therapy and cardiology products (www.btlnet.com).
