Assisting Event Organisers in the Digital Age

At Presso Network, we believe a strong digital presence is the foundation of every successful event. From seamless event websites to powerful networking apps, we help organisers create exceptional experiences that attract attendees, engage audiences, and maximise sponsor value.

Our mission

We help event organisers build standout websites, create powerful apps, and develop cutting-edge digital strategies to attract attendees, increase sponsor ROI, and craft unforgettable experiences. More than a technology provider, we are educators, innovators, and partners in your success.

Our mission is to simplify event technology and empower organisers to host seamless, engaging, and high-impact events. Through intuitive solutions and ongoing education, we help you increase registrations, elevate attendee experiences, and deliver measurable sponsor value—keeping you ahead in an ever-evolving industry.

We’re a small, independent team—and by design. We work with a select number of organisers each year to ensure that every project gets our full attention. We don’t chase hyper-growth or VC funding. Instead, we focus on delivering exceptional, personalised service that actually moves the needle for your events.

Sure, we might be a little more expensive than the “feature-factory” event tech companies out there—but when you work with Presso, you’re more than just another account in a sales pipeline. You're a valued partner, and we’ll treat you like one.

Who is presso network?

Founded with a single goal in mind.

Presso Network started with a simple idea — helping attendees connect more easily at events. Today, it has grown into a powerful event technology platform that helps organisers worldwide sell more tickets, enhance attendee experiences, and maximise sponsor ROI.

Presso Network was founded in 2016 out of a simple frustration: why is it so hard to meet the right people at industry events? What started as a straightforward networking app to help attendees connect has since grown into a full-fledged event technology platform.

Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to work with standout events like The Retail Summit in Dubai, RG Connect in London, and the IBIA Conference in Turkey—helping organisers strengthen their digital presence, engage attendees more effectively, and deliver measurable results for their sponsors.

At the heart of Presso is me, Kristian Papadakis—building the apps, leading marketing, managing partnerships, and ensuring we deliver exceptional digital experiences for event organisers. Along the way, I’ve had the invaluable guidance of Dr. Thomas Papanikolaou, founder of Neos Chronos and Founderhyve, whose strategic insights have helped shape our journey.

We’ve intentionally stayed lean and agile. We’re a small team by choice, working with a select number of organisers each year to guarantee that every client gets our full attention. Backed by Neos Chronos’ advisory leadership, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of event technology—one exceptional event at a time.
