June 16, 2022

Event tech powerhouse MeetingPlay + Aventri (MPAV), which merged earlier this year to provide a comprehensive event planning and management solution for virtual, in-person and hybrid events, purchased eventcore, a leading event registration platform for organizations looking for customized solutions for the most complex events.

The acquisition positions MPAV as a premium platform for delivering innovative and impactful experiences through the entire event lifecycle. Known for pushing the envelope on technology advancements, MPAV provides a suite of premium solutions, including custom mobile event apps, venue sourcing, event marketing, onsite technology, strategic meetings management, data security and privacy, task management, ROI reporting and now, event registration. The addition of eventcore gives MPAV the ability to execute complex registration and furthers its commitment to provide customers with end-to-end solutions to make every event memorable.

MPAV’s strong lineup of products aims to support planners and organizers in the current environment, as they are seeking to implement the benefits of virtual and hybrid gatherings in their return to in-person events, and today, more than ever, event professionals need tailored solutions, according to Eric Lochner, CEO of MPAV.

“They have outgrown off-the-shelf tools and are looking to partner with an organization that understands their need to provide branded, unique, innovative events,” Lochner said. “We believe that our event management platform coupled with eventcore’s revolutionary registration solution will be a true game changer, [enabling] us to provide clients and partners with an unmatched level of enterprise-class service for events of every type and size.” 

As part of the MPAV family of products, eventcore will be investing to further increase the depth and breadth of its platform, according to Mark Johnson, CEO of eventcore.

“We are excited to be joining an industry leader with a history of innovation and a long-term vision for growth,” said Mark Johnson, CEO of eventcore. “In joining MPAV, we can reach a wider scope of customers and partners by leveraging the best combination of eventcore’s custom registration solutions coupled with MPAV’s end-to-end event technology solutions.”

Providing highly customized technology solutions for event registration and tools to power world-class events, eventcore is designed to help clients analyze and take action on data insights at the first attendee touchpoint and beyond, leading to high ROE (return on events).

HERE, hosting responsible meetings and caring for our communities are top priorities. Through its 'Focused on What Matters: Embracing Humanity and Protecting the Planet' philosophy, MGM Resorts commits to creating a more sustainable future, while striving to make an impact in the lives of employees, guests, and the communities in which it operates. Water Stewardship Efforts MGM Resorts understands the importance of using water efficiently, especially in the desert destination of Las Vegas. Conserving water has always been part of the mission, but MGM Resorts has expanded its ambition into water stewardship. In 2022, MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle signed the CEO Water Mandate—a UN Global Compact initiative mobilizing business leaders to advance water stewardship. MGM Resorts International was the first gaming company to take this important step. MGM Resorts replaced 200,000 square feet of real grass with drought-tolerant landscaping in Las Vegas. MGM Resorts pledges to reduce water withdrawal intensity by 33% by 2025 and by 35% by 2030. From 2007-2021, use of more than 5.6 billion gallons of water was avoided because of conservation efforts. Caring for One Another MGM Resorts’ Food Donations Program collects and preserves unserved food from conventions held at MGM Resorts properties, then safely donates to food insecure people in the community. Since the program’s launch in 2016, more than 3.7 million meals toward a 2025 goal of 5 million meals have been donated into the community. Donations include: Unserved perishable prepared foods from events Perishable unprepared food from MGM Resorts’ kitchens Nonperishable food items from minibars and warehouses The collaboration with Southern Nevada’s primary food bank, Three Square, has developed the infrastructure needed to safely collect, transport, and store food from MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, reducing food waste while serving the community. Fostering Diversity and Inclusion To MGM Resorts, a diverse and talented workforce is essential to success. By cultivating innovative strategies that consider multiple perspectives and viewpoints, the company creates an inclusive workplace culture that benefits its employees and community. MGM Resorts takes pride in being a welcoming home for veterans, individuals with disabilities, people from diverse backgrounds, LGBTQ+ community members, and more.
