What Global Event Technologies does

Global Event Technologies (GET) is an Austria-headquartered, privately held event-technology provider founded in 2017 by Tim Moser (CEO) and Julian Nischler (CTO) to commercialize an RFID/NFC-based cashless payment system the founders originally prototyped for the Electric Love Festival in 2015. The company sells a modular 360° event platform covering Cashless Payment, Access Control, Accreditation Management, Stock Management and Staff Management, anchored by an Eventportal front-end and a Manage backend, all running on a centralized software stack deployed on Samsung Galaxy XCover handhelds and Smartgates with an offline-first architecture and a bidirectional API for third-party integrations (ticket providers, PSPs such as Six Payment, BI via Google Data Studio).

The platform is sized for events of 1,000 to 100,000+ attendees and is evidenced at large scale by deployments including Defqon.1 Festival 2025 (2M+ transactions, 2,200 handhelds), Rock am Ring (1,200 POS devices, 850 on-site hours), Wacken Festival, Parookaville, Electric Love, Sonne Mond Sterne, OMR Festival, Red Bull Ring (F1/MotoGP), plus corporate deployments at Airbus and Deutsche Bahn. GET operates with 11–50 employees from Hallein, is privately and founder-funded with no disclosed external rounds or M&A, and is GDPR-compliant with annual KPMG software audits.

Revenue is generated from hardware rental (POS devices, handhelds, Smartgates), software/module subscriptions, on-site field services, transaction- and add-on-based fees (e.g., EUR 100 per extra unit, EUR 50 per site/area, EUR 4 per out-of-package support case), and the event portal/manage backend; pricing is custom-quoted per event with multi-year enterprise contracts and B2C support included up to three months post-event. Distribution is purely direct enterprise sales across Europe, with marketing primarily digital (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, company website, email newsletter).

Product overview

Global Event Technologies (GET) offers a modular, 360-degree event digitalization platform built around five core software modules — Cashless Payment, Access Control, Accreditation Management, Stock Management, and Staff Management — all running on a central software platform accessible across all devices. The ecosystem is anchored by the Eventportal (customer-facing online platform for visitor data, top-ups, and upgrades) and the Manage backend (organizer access for price management, real-time reporting, and payout processing). Hardware modules including Tap2Pay Smartgates, Tap2Info Smartgates, and EC/CC Terminals extend the platform's capabilities. All modules share a unified data layer, enabling integrations such as Stock Management automatically triggering inventory changes with each Cashless Payment sale, and Staff Management leveraging Access Control gates for automatic break tracking.
