Discovery portfolio which features iconic brands such as HBO, CNN, Discovery Channel, among many others - reaching hundreds of millions of consumers worldwide through TV, streaming services and social media.

By securing category exclusivity sponsorship of Event Ticketing Technology we will bring people together through unforgettable experiences at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports’ events. Every day, Events.com helps people do the things they love, and this partnership is a key step toward expressing our vision for the future of event technology,” said Stephen Partridge, President, Co-Founder, and COO of Events.com. “Aligning with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports’ premier cycling and motorcycling properties allows us to showcase our innovative event technology on a global stage while creating a more seamless and rewarding experience for both fans and event creators. This strategic agreement will expand our global footprint in the $936 billion dollar event sector.”

Patrick Maitrot, Head of International Sales & Partnership at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, said: "We are delighted to partner with Events.com. Their innovative approach to the events business and their commitment to an active lifestyle make them the perfect match for our series. With every event we deliver, we aim to stay one step ahead—setting trends and driving innovation at every turn. This collaboration not only brings on board a new strategic ally but also strengthens our ambition to keep redefining how global events are managed and promoted in the future."

With end-to-end event management solutions, Events.com gives creators access to a suite of tools at every step. The platform offers a-la-carte or bundled solutions to sell, promote, sponsor, and execute events all connected through powerful insights to help ensure a smooth event experience from start to finish.

The FIM Speedway Grand Prix has also launched its season, starting with the opening round in Landshut (Germany).
