Boosts Organizer Efficiency and Revenue While Providing Event Goer with Simplified Digital Parking , /PRNewswire/ -- Events.com ("the Company"), an industry-leading event management and discovery platform, today announced the strategic acquisition of Citifyd, a premier technology provider specializing in urban and event parking solutions. This move integrates advanced parking management into Events.com's offerings, empowering event creators to save time, unlock new revenue streams, and gain a comprehensive view of their event ecosystem by syncing parking and ticketing data. The integration will also streamline the parking experience for event goers, enhancing overall event satisfaction. This technology allows Events.com to simplify fragmented parking systems, allowing event goers to pre-purchase parking through a user-friendly mobile app while delivering real-time analytics to event creators and venue operators for optimized traffic flow and space management. Citifyd built a robust patent portfolio that complements Events.com's mission to equip event creators worldwide with a robust, all-in-one platform to craft, promote, and execute unforgettable experiences. Event goers can download the Citifyd app to browse and secure parking options—from driveways to garages—before an event or add parking directly within the Events.com ticketing process for added convenience. "Acquiring Citifyd fits our plan to bring all event production tools onto one easy platform," said Stephen Partridge, Co-Founder, President and COO of Events.com. "Their smart parking and transit solutions help us give event creators what they need for great events, while their city-focused tech strengthens our ability to support local businesses and meet new travel trends." With Citifyd's integration, Events.com expands its reach across the event lifecycle, offering deeper support to event creators and venues. The parking solution can be seamlessly woven into Events.com's comprehensive platform or used standalone by those who don't require its full suite of services. By linking ticketing and parking data, organizers gain actionable insights into event goer preferences, enabling tailored promotions and personalized experiences. Citifyd's expertise in smart mobility further aligns with Events.com's vision of making events more accessible and efficient through technology. "We're thrilled to join forces with Events.com and bring our global team's mobility expertise to a platform that prioritizes innovation and customer satisfaction," said Sohrab Vossoughi, co-founder and CEO of Citifyd. "This will help redefine the event landscape, driving growth for organizers, simplifying parking, and unlocking new revenue opportunities, all while creating a more connected and accessible event ecosystem." This acquisition also comes at a critical juncture for Events.com as it prepares for its public debut following its previously announced business combination with Concord Acquisition Corp. II (OTCQX: CNDA), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, which is expected to close in 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.  For more information about Events.com, please visit https://events.com.
