Tech founder and entrepreneur Christina Ness announces the launch of Evenigo, a new social sharing and discovery platform designed to eliminate the hassle of manually scheduling events, by automatically syncing your favorite concerts and sports games directly to your calendar.
Ness, who spent her career working at tech startups and entertainment companies including for American Idol Creator Simon Fuller, Done + Dusted, and in Esports at Activision Blizzard, came up with the idea after experiencing her own struggle with missing out on one of the most coveted concert tours of last season.
After a manual error in calendaring the presale date resulted in missing the show, Ness knew there had to be a better solution, but when she searched the marketplace, there was none. “There are a number of other solutions that allow you to add single events to your calendars, but I wanted to create a one-stop shop for connection, discovery, and convenience with automatic calendar adds,” shared Christina Ness.

The Evenigo mission is simple: make sure you’re always in the loop and never miss out on the things that excite you. “One of the biggest barriers to entry when it comes to securing tickets for sought after concerts, sporting events and brand events, is keeping track of the presale and drop dates. During Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour, so many of my friends, family and colleagues were unable to secure tickets due to missed deadlines or similar situations. I knew there had to be a more seamless way to integrate personal interests with day to day calendars so I started to design that platform,” continued Ness.
The process is simple – users sign up and create a free account. Then, they follow the concerts, sporting events, TV shows, and brand calendars that interest them most. You can add all events from one venue, musician, team or network to your calendar or select specific events.
The platform also offers personalization through its Discover Feed – a dynamic space where users can explore upcoming events, purchase tickets directly through the Ticketmaster API, and find new activities that they might have missed otherwise. In addition, you can view which events fellow users are following and attending, making it easier to coordinate with friends and family.
