A growing trend among Canadian event organizers is the preference for local startups over U.S.-based technology platforms. Simpli Events, a Canadian ticketing platform, has emerged as a popular alternative, surpassing $1 million in transactions and selling over 100,000 tickets. The platform is tailored to the unique needs of Canadian event organizers, offering lower fees, a Canada-first approach, and live, local customer support.
