Acteva Partners with Kinetic Software Acteva PDF
Strategic Partnership Allows Kinetic to Offer Acteva’s Leading Online Event Registration Solution
SAN FRANCISCO – February 3, 2009
Acteva today announced a partnership with Kinetic Software that provides business-grade event management solutions along with online registration capabilities for event professionals. Acteva’s solution delivers a quick and easy way for attendees to register and pay for events, freeing up time for organizers to focus on other details. It also helps to minimize the administrative work typically associated with registration, reconciliation, chargebacks, refunds, and fraud resolution.
Kinetic’s Business Development Manager, Mark Williams, says, “This strategic partnership is a wonderful opportunity for both companies since our products and services complement each other so well. Now we’re able to streamline the entire event planning process with this product integration.”
Acteva will serve as the exclusive registration sponsor for Kinetic Software’s annual Kx User’s Conference, March 19-20 in Boston, MA. The conference will feature an interactive product demonstration by Ed Lemire, Executive Vice President of Acteva.
Both companies will be exhibiting and presenting at the ACCED-I 29th Annual Conference and Expo – also in Boston, March 21–25. This event draws over 500 campus professionals who manage conferences and special events for universities and colleges throughout North America and the United Kingdom.
More meeting professionals are turning to online registration and payment solutions as a way to generate additional revenue and market their events while, at the same time, cutting unnecessary administrative costs. The ability to offer an affordable, secure online service to customers will help sustain many organizations through tough economic times.
