EventPipe Appoints Mike Mason as President

EventPipe, whose customer base includes Team Travel Source, Stack Sports, ESPN Events, CNBC Events and the Esports Trade Association, has announced the appointment of Mike Mason as president.

Before EventPipe, Mason was general manager at sports-event management software company Group Productivity Solution. He joined GPS after serving as vice president of Hospitality Solutions at Aventri (now Stova), a global event technology provider. Earlier in his career, Mason served as senior vice president of sales and marketing for Gaylord Hotels.

“I’m excited to join EventPipe,” Mason said. “This team combines deep technical expertise and decades of event experience. The result is a platform that upends the old-school complexities of event housing management and presents a clean, new, efficient solution.”

EventPipe serves event planners, housing companies, sports and corporate event organizers, associations and convention and visitor bureaus.

“Customers reap the benefit of a flexible platform that lets them move faster, generate more revenue, and deliver experiences that families and attendees love,” Mason said. “EventPipe will be bringing exciting innovations to market this year and beyond.”

EventPipe simplifies housing from room block management and RFP tools to fan housing, analytics and reporting. The full-featured platform also provides many ways for event planners to create new revenue streams.

“Mike is an inspiring leader with a passion for youth sports and a stellar track record in the hospitality and event space,” said Tim Brown, chief executive officer of EventPipe. “I look forward to working with him as we accelerate growth. Mike’s game-changing strategies have driven gains across the board in product development, revenue and business growth.”
