By providing responsive smart space solutions, Venuetize is taking bold steps in creating exceptional consumer experiences while seamlessly connecting large-scale entertainment venues, shopping complexes, entertainment districts, and sports stadiums in one intuitive mobile application.
Bold Business Associate Publisher John R. Miles and Project Bold Life President Dawna Stone had the opportunity to interview Karri Zaremba, co-founder and Chief Operations Officer of Venuetize, during the 2019 Synapse Summit. In this interview and video, Zaremba discusses the “how” and “why” behind Venuetize’s push to make consumer experiences a “smart” one.
Venuetize, based in Tampa, FL, is only a little over five years old but it has already proven its potential. The company is currently working with Amalie Arena, the PGA TOUR, and Hard Rock Stadium in Florida, LAFC and Banc of California Stadium, Little Caesar’s Arena and The District Detroit in Michigan, and many more world-class sports, hospitality, and entertainment organizations.

With the consumer experience at the crux, Venuetize as a smart space solution is, therefore, clearly heading the right direction.

Smart Space Solutions in Smart Cities: Helping People Live Better Lives
Nowadays, consumers are inundated by a deluge of information and options day in and day out. Being informed is great, and having a wide array of options can be beneficial to a certain degree. But without a way to filter these options, decision-making can be stressful. There is a limit to the amount of information the human brain can process. Anything beyond the acceptable threshold will have an impact on the quality of our responses, decision-making, and ultimately, the quality of our lives.
It is not surprising that a growing number of consumers are turning to apps to help filter information and help curb info overload. Thankfully, Venuetize provides consumers with sensible and data-driven options using smart space technologies. As a smart space solutions application, the Venuetize design will gather and collate the user’s previous activities. Based on this data, Venuetize draws insights in order to curate and provide experiences that are specific to the user.
By 2050, it is predicted that two-thirds of the population will be clustered in urban areas. Inherently, business and trade will gather in the cities where there is a greater concentration of population. With industries competing for consumer attention, smart space solutions can help urban dwellers map options available within the cityscape.
