We, at Hubilo, aim to automate this entire process of online management of events – taking over the mundane task that the organizers will be doing manually and allowing the software to do it in an easier and much more efficient way. With a strong team and vision in focus, we target to build the largest community of eventgoers by powering all the major events held across the globe.”
