Leap Event Technology builds an all-in-one platform for live event management, bringing ticketing, mobile applications, experiential marketing and patron management into a single integrated system. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Wexford, Pennsylvania, the company captures attendee data across every touchpoint - from ticket purchase to onsite engagement - so that organisers can work from one dataset rather than a set of disconnected tools.
The company's technical work spans event ticketing and reservations technology, mobile event applications, CRM and patron management built on Salesforce, payment and merchant services via Stripe, gamification and activations, photo op and autograph management, convention management software, and attendee data capture and analytics. Its product portfolio has been assembled through acquisition: since 2017 Leap has taken in seven companies, including PatronManager (a Salesforce-based patron CRM), the ticketing platforms ShowClix, TicketLeap and GrowTix, the mobile app technology Greencopper, the activation technology Thuzi, and Epic Photo Ops.
Leap operates from four offices - Wexford, Dallas, Montreal and Sydney - supported by a global remote workforce. Its systems are used across live events, theater, conventions, music festivals, fan conventions, sports and experiential entertainment; clients include New York Comic Con, Bonnaroo, Illuminarium, the NHL and Dragon Con. The company describes its approach as combining sophisticated technology with hands-on event services, with an emphasis on eliminating data silos and giving organisers control of the full event experience.
