Any event organizer knows it is not easy to create a great event, making sure every visitor has the information needed and can meet the right people. Luckily several startups have innovative services that can help organisers with their event. Three people from event startups are organizing a meeting, called Event Tech Circus, where both organisers and investors can meet these startups. Event Tech Circus takes place Tuesday May 7th in RAI Amsterdam.

The program contains an interesting mix of speakers, an interactive quiz by organizer Derrick Stomp, introductions of the participating startups and room for debate. Event organisers that participate have the possibility to experience the products of the startup first hand. The program is also open for potential investors who should definitely attend the afternoon program. Below we list the 11 startups participating:
