Event Tech Tribe, a partnership of event technology firms that integrate and share customer data, appointed Carsten Pleiser as CEO. He succeeds Marie-Claire Andrews, who has helmed the organization since its launch in 2016 and is now president of its newly formed board. Carsten, based near London, will drive growth for core Tribe members and lead brand management and marketing activities. He has more than 10 years of experience in the European event technology and software-as-a-service spaces and previously worked with Aventri, Crowd Connected, Glisser and Xing Events, formerly Amiando. "Every day, new and exciting companies are releasing exceptionally good products to the B2B events industry," Pleiser said. "As technology advances, event professionals no longer need to rely on large end-to-end providers trying to offer everything under the hood, often with limited functionality but a hefty price tag. The Event Tech Tribe provides an alternative, and I'm excited about the future opportunities."
