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.

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."
