(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 29, 2012 ) Chicago, IL -- In its second annual “Innovation Issue,” BizBash Media names Talia Mashiach, CEO & Found of Eved to its list of the 66 most innovative people in the event industry. Mashiach is among the entrepreneurs and business leaders who stand out as the drivers behind groundbreaking, purpose-driven concepts that shape the way we think about events today.
Mashiach launched Eved in 2010 as a comprehensive sourcing, marketing, and e-Commerce solution that enables buyers, sellers, and resellers in the meetings and event industry to interact and transact online. The company now has more than 3,000 users, including industry-leading meeting and incentive companies, hotels, venues, suppliers, event planners, and destination management companies. In late 2011, Mashiach secured more than $9.5 million in financing to expand Eved’s event commerce product and significantly increase the transactions flowing through Eved. “I am honored to be recognized by BizBash as an innovative event professional,” said Mashiach. “It has always been a passion of mine to automate business processes that will lead to the transformation of the $263 billion meeting and event industry away from a manual, highly fragmented process into a comprehensive online marketplace.”
“The event industry is constantly in flux, with a steady stream of style trends, tech developments, and new ideas,” said Chad Kaydo, editor in chief of BizBash. “We wanted to recognize the people who stay ahead of the curve and move the industry forward.”
The article, “The 66 Most Innovative People,” is featured in BizBash’s March/April 2012 issue. The story is live on bizbash.com.
BizBash’s “Innovation Issue” also names the 10 most innovative brands that are using events as a crucial part of their marketing mix, including Coca-Cola, Target, and Red Bull.
