Stova and Haute Dokimazo Partner on a Bold New Approach to Events
March 27, 2019
When a revolutionary idea in meeting planning meets with a revolutionary approach to event registration, exciting things happen.
We are excited to announce that Seattle-based event registration solution provider Stova has joined forces with Haute Dokimazo, a signature boutique-style event provider that is quickly gaining traction in the event field. The events we will work together are small — generally no more than 100 participants — and the attendees come knowing there is no set agenda, no keynote speaker, and the flow of the event will be crowd-sourced based on attendee needs.
“We aim to change the narrative on events,” Haute Dokimazo’s Nicole Osibodu explains. “We bring together people who have real problems to solve, and connect them with the people who can help. “If you think about the spontaneous, intense networking and creative problem solving that goes on in between the sessions at a typical conference, we build entire events around that concept.”
Our team designed a built-to-spec registration platform to cater to the highly specific needs of Haute Dokimazo’s Secret Family Reunion, an invitation-only event for event professionals who have attended previous HD events.
When you’re talking about a boutique-style event like this catering to a high-end crowd, the registration must be incredibly personal and flawless. After meeting the team at Haute Dokimazo and talking in depth about their needs, we all knew this would be a great match … not just on a technical level, but a great meeting of cultures too.
Osibodu agrees. “This unique event concept needed a custom registration solution that allowed us to accept applications, approve or deny them, and stage payments,” she explains. “Stova customized this registration process for us to make this a truly bespoke solution for our guests, while matching our culture of high touch experiences.”
The Secret Family Reunion is for previous HD event attendees only; Osibodu notes there is still time to get in on the action by attending the upcoming spontaneous think tank for event professionals in Chicago on May 19-21.
“The HD family is also excited to welcome Mark Johnson, CEO Stova and his team to our next event in Chicago. We can’t wait to welcome them to the family,” Osibodu notes.
As events become more focused on community-building and connecting as humans, this partnership seems particularly relevant. Attendees and event planners are working hard to make their events more “human,” From simplifying the registration process to making the check-in experience more awesome, Haute Dokimazo is committed to revolutionizing the event experience. And we are absolutely the right partner for that. We look forward to an amazing partnership.
Hope to see you in Chicago!
