Hamburg / Munich, 19 November 2013 - New name, new alignment: From now on,
amiando, Europe's leading online event management and ticketing provider,
is to be known as XING EVENTS. Around three years ago, Munich-based amiando
was acquired by XING AG, operator of the online business network called
XING. From now on, XING EVENTS will continue its established core business
of online ticketing and will also advertise and present business events on
XING. Members now also have access to intelligent advanced features that
make it easy for them to find events matching their needs and attended by
interesting people. Event matching is based on members' profile entries and
their personal networks. This rebranding goes hand in hand with a new logo
and redesign of the www.xing-events.com website. This clear and modern
design provides organizers and event guests with simple and efficient
usability.
XING CEO Thomas Vollmoeller said: 'As an online business network, XING is
unique in providing an integrated, comprehensive service for professional
event management. XING EVENTS is the next step in that process. The
business event market can be somewhat opaque, so we want to introduce
transparency there in order to lead our more than 6.7 million members in
German-speaking countries to top events that are also useful to them. The
first features based on member networks are being launched within the scope
of the rebranding. And that's just for starters. Our members can look
forward to a number of new products, services and features to help them in
their daily working life beyond the XING platform.'
Intelligent advanced features: XING EVENTS brings people together at
suitable events based on their network
The intelligent advanced XING EVENTS features will include personalised
event recommendations sent to members that are based on their network and
profile entries. XING EVENTS will also make guest lists clearer than ever
before as they not only point out any contacts that will be attending the
same event, they will also show attendees who are worth meeting. This gives
our members access to a quicker way to find relevant and suitable events
from the long list of events organised on XING.
Now with high-quality partner services: Integrata first XING EVENTS partner
Integrata AG, the leading independent full service provider for training
services in Germany, is now the first major XING EVENTS partner whose
events will be prominently placed on the platform. Events organised by
other partners will follow in due course. 'We are very proud of this
partnership. XING members can now choose from any one of our over 1,300
interesting seminar topics. Premium members will also receive a discount.
We have offices all over Germany, meaning that we are able to guarantee
seminar dates', said Ingmar J. Rath, CEO at Integrata AG.
Out soon on mobile: All events to be accessible from smartphone app for iOS
and Android
At the same time as the rebranding, XING EVENTS is introducing a new
smartphone app for iOS and Android that allows users to search and browse
any eventsorganised on XING EVENTS. The app also suggests events and
guests that match the user's profile. The new app also presents users with
local events and events that their contacts will be attending. The app also
has various interaction options such as sending and receiving messages and
contact requests. The free XING EVENTS app will be available in the Apple
App Store soon, and is also scheduled for release in the Google Play Store
at the end of this year.
