We’re often asked why we decided to build a system like Ticketopolis. What many people don’t know is that we started in 2002 as an agency that developed technology-driven marketing strategies, or, depending on how you looked at it, a software development company built on marketing principles. Our mission was simple: “Help your business grow.” We wanted to have a positive impact on the growth and development of our society.
Our event registration system, as it was called back then, was probably the third or fourth system we ever developed. The first event we supported was a conference for Tecnológico de Monterrey called “Adictos a la Publicidad” (Advertising Addicts), held in August 2003.
From there, we went on to support many more events, including numerous events organized by students and nonprofit organizations. Often, they had to work with very limited time, budgets, or resources. And yet, we saw firsthand how their hard work and dedication allowed them to create meaningful events that made a difference in their communities.
Over time, we began to see a common thread among all these events: they contributed to the growth and development of society. We witnessed how attending these kinds of events could change people’s lives. That’s when we realized that the work we were doing could be a tool for democratizing access to knowledge, making sports more accessible, bringing people closer to the arts, and much more. We realized that, from our corner of the world, we could contribute to society and help drive positive change.
That realization inspired us to make professional tools available to everyone: tools that had previously been accessible only to large companies. Tools that could make event organization easier, help activate local economies, and support the growth of communities.
Through Ticketopolis, its technology, and our experience, we could continue making a positive impact on society, this time, on a global scale.
And our work isn’t finished. Along with continuing to add new features and improvements to Ticketopolis, we have three projects in the works that are much more focused on education, all with the same goal: to democratize knowledge and help it reach more people.
