Thank you for joining us in our first year! Whether you were managing a huge team globally or just booking a hotel with friends for a trip away, I wanted to thank you personally for helping us shape the future of team logistics.
So much has happened since the start, so here’s a quick summary:
January – we (soft) launched! The app was made available for general download from the store.
February – Destinations Travel Show in Olympia! We met the general public and started meeting people, discussing our solution. Press started rolling, with tutorials, and videos created as fast as we could manage.
March – our V1.0 (quickly followed by a 1.0.1 😁). We had the EventR Coordinator Hub (ECH) and EventR Team App ready for general availability.
April – the release of V1.0.2 brought customised skins and better permissions, while we prepped for our next show…
May – …in Las Vegas! Event Tech Live was our first time meeting the Eventing Industry and we made lots of new friends.
June – V1.1, our first major point release of the year bringing new features for Event Organisers to share their schedules publicly. People can now build their personal trips around public schedules!
July – Euro 2024. We followed the whole competition, helping people travel between the venues, and know who was playing who! V1.3 was also released bringing many power user features such as itinerary duplication, and big reworks to our international time zones.
August – Paris Olympics. We got the whole schedule of every sport into the app thanks to some tireless work of my daughter in her holidays (thank you Norni 😁).
September – Our planner was released, and reworked our interface in V1.4 to streamline everything. Willem put together this handy video showing how a racing team can manage themselves. DVD2024 show at the Millbrook Proving Ground gave us the platform to show the power of EventR to governments from across the world!
October – Otmar Szafnauer talked about EventR to Jake Humphries on the High Performance Podcast – well worth a watch if you’re into Formula 1! Back in the office the team pushed out V1.4.1 with calendar synching, and great improvements to costings. Enterprise customers now work in multiple currencies and track their CO2 impact!
November – final show of the year ETL2024 at the Excel, London! The team also prepared V1.4.4 – our final release of 2024. This really deserved a full point release, as the team brought full global hotel booking in both the app and the ECH – here’s me standing outside our first booking. Budget and Actuals charts gave a clear breakdown of where our customers were spending.
December – we’re polishing our next release, onboarding new staff, and prepping some very cool new features, but you’ll just have to wait and see…!
2024 is just the beginning, serving users spanning the globe – from Silverstone to Surfers Paradise. 2025 is going to be much bigger, so keep checking back on us and get in touch if you have any special requests.
Thank you, and have a great 2025!
