About the Authors
Alon, Eran, and Boaz co-founded Bizzabo in 2011. The three met at the prestigious Zell Entrepreneurship program at Reichman University in Israel. After attending numerous professional events while working on a separate start-up idea, they saw an opportunity to build a new way to bring attendees together. After months of working out of a family garage, they realized connecting attendees was just the beginning. The real opportunity was to connect every aspect of the event experience.
