The Go-to Platform for Event Planning

The data is clear - people want to meet in person. With increasingly distributed workforces, organizations rely more than ever on events to engage and retain employees, and build team culture. Based on survey results from GBT, 60% of meetings and events this year will be in-person and continue growing. Face-to-face interactions are irreplaceable.

With inflation, staffing shortages, and elevated attendee expectations, it's more important than ever that meeting planners work smarter, not harder. Luckily, this is the first time in history that AI can help automate tedious tasks and help with end-to-end event planning.

Planning corporate events, whether small team meetings or large-scale conferences, is often a logistical nightmare. Managing manual emails, spreadsheets, and callbacks can be incredibly time-consuming and costly.

With Nowadays, our AI can contact venues by email and phone to get availability, deal with back-and-forth negotiations, and present the best options. Our tech scales the impact of human event planners, so they can focus on creating memorable experiences instead of getting bogged down by logistics.

Our mission at Nowadays is to make it simple to bring people together. We want to create a world where the joy of events is never overshadowed by the complexity of planning them, making memorable experiences accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Our Team

Amy and Anna are sisters who know all too well the hassle of organizing large-scale events. As class presidents at their respective universities, they planned events for over 3,300 students. Anna graduated from MIT and previously worked in PM & SWE roles at Datadog, DoorDash, and Amazon. Amy graduated from Johns Hopkins and formerly worked in strategy and operations roles at Google, Meta, and McKinsey.

The idea of Nowadays came to them while catching up one spring break, realizing that they had both been spending too much time calling and emailing different venues for the upcoming events they were planning (e.g., Amy's wedding, Anna's 1,000+ senior class event). They realized that AI could revolutionize the world of event planning, and they were excited to start a company together to make that change :)
