The VTEvents story

The VTEvents story begins with our founder Victor Macko, starting VT Events 20 years ago when he was working as an events operations manager in Melbourne, Australia. He was managing multiple events every week and looking after over 50 volunteers with nothing more than a phone and pager.

Trying to manage staff availabilities, skills and strengths, and coordinating teams at events was a challenging task in itself let alone making sure everyone was informed of their rosters, changes and cancellations.

It was also hard to account for the needs of other managers, staff and volunteers who all had their own reporting needs. Victor was convinced there had to be a better way, and so, VTEvents was born.

VTEvents, the event workforce & rostering solution was created based on real life experience, and built by people who understand the events business and the unique staffing and volunteer challenges it faces.

The system was built with a particular focus on self service to allow volunteers and staff to access the information they need and perform the actions required to do their job more efficiently. These features include updating availabilities, expressing interest for unfilled shifts, checking upcoming rosters and submitting timesheets. This software was truly revolutionary and reduced the amount of manual work that was previously done over the the phone, saving time for staff and managers and reducing operations costs for events.
