KNOXVILLE, TN — May 12, 2017 — EventBooking, a Software as a Service (SaaS) company based in Knoxville, TN, was recognized at the 13th annual Pinnacle Business Awards as the 2017 winner of the Small Business Excellence Award. The award series is hosted by the Knoxville Chamber, which aims to honor contributions to the local community and acknowledge companies that “highlight the range of businesses that make up Knoxville’s thriving, vibrant economy.”

The Small Business Excellence Award is reserved for a business with a maximum of 50 employees that has consistently grown its workforce and revenue, and has overcome various obstacles. EventBooking received recognition for its business development through its software products, which enable teams within venues to book space, detail events, manage holds, track finances, and delegate tasks—all through one web-based platform. CEO John Platillero began the company in 1999, which now serves 86% of all NBA arenas, 80% of all NHL arenas, and 700 other venues worldwide.

More than 600 people gathered at the Knoxville Convention Center for the award ceremony gala, which kicked off with a reception and silent auction. Attendees transitioned into the convention center’s ballroom to enjoy dinner and the program, where awards were given in nine different categories.

Platillero, who received the award on behalf of the company, commented: “Our successes could not be done without great people…I’ve got a great team here who loves our customers. And really, that’s the secret to all this—love your customers and love what you do.”
