InitLive Inc.

InitLive is an event technology company based in Ottawa, Canada, founded in late 2013 by the mother-daughter team Debbie and Melissa Pinard. 

The InitLive SaaS platform enables Event Producers to efficiently plan and manage world class events utilizing our premium tools for recruiting, scheduling, and organizing staff throughout the entire event production lifecycle.

At every event, production companies have thousands of detailed logistical items to plan for, and often times, must contend with the unexpected. Mobilizing a new workforce to meet the unique requirements of an event is a daunting task. Finding quality people, and then training and organizing them to do their jobs is a challenge; but is the fundamental difference between a disastrous event and an amazing one. On event day, when 30% of staff are no-shows, and unforeseen challenges arise, uninformed organizers can’t quickly react and solve problems. When participants have a negative event experience, it ultimately lowers profitability for future productions.

InitLive is the only platform to offer an end-to-end staff planning and management solution combined with a real-time alerting and communication system.  Finding the right people, and scheduling them to be at the right place at the right time is easy with our suite of recruiting and planning tools. On event day our platform is command central, keeping events running smoothly when unplanned problems arise.  The InitLive mobile application alerts managers to any staffing problems which they can immediately take action on. Patented real-time communication tools allow planners to mobilize staff to solve any challenge. Our customers scale their businesses profitably by providing extraordinary event experiences to attendees.
