Simple-yet-sophisticated software seamlessly bridges gap between event organizers and event participants
SAN DIEGO, CA, October 13, 2015 – Events.com, an event management platform that facilitates and enhances the experience of hosting and attending events, announced today that Color Fun Fest, the epic night color run sweeping the nation, has selected Events.com to power event registration and management for a series of 5K events nationwide.
