Active Network Powers Professional Events Industry
with Expanded Footprint in Asia-Pacific
Experienced Staff in Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney Help Global Customers Manage Events and Source Venues in Region
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – February 21, 2012 –Active Network (NYSE: ACTV) announced today at the Asia-Pacific Incentives & Meeting Expo (AIME) that it is expanding its presence in Asia-Pacific with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney. Through the recent acquisition of StarCite®, a leader in corporate strategic meetings management, Active Network now provides a comprehensive suite of event technology solutions for meetings of any size—from small, local events to global user conferences. Having successfully powered events in the Asia-Pacific endurance market through partnerships with well-known customers such as the Singapore Sports Council and Triathlon Australia, Active Network is now positioned to deliver local expertise and customer service to the professional events industry in the region.
Active Network is already a trusted event technology provider for industry leaders such as Cisco, American Express, and other global customers with a strong presence in Asia-Pacific. Rather than cobbling together multiple point solutions, through Active Network professional meeting planners can rely on a single source to handle all elements of event management and engagement technology. Furthermore, meetings and events professionals have access to StarCite’s global supplier marketplace to more efficiently and cost-effectively source local venues and hotels for their meetings.
“We are excited about growing our presence in the broader professional events industry in Asia-Pacific, building on the successes we have had to date in the strategic meetings management and endurance markets,” said JR Sherman, senior vice president and senior general manager of the Business Solutions division at Active Network. “Our value proposition lies in our ability to help event organizers drive deeper personalization and engagement with their attendees, while helping event organizers contain corporate spend and focus on maximizing ROI.”
