Ditch the chaos.
Two ways to transform how events get done
Intelligent event operations
KNO Events Platform unifies every operational workflow in one system of record. As your team plans, it creates the data behind real-time forecasts and AI-driven insights.
Tech-powered execution
KNO Events Collective connects you with experienced independent event professionals and agencies, all powered by the KNO Events Platform.

From system of record to system of intelligence
AI Insights

Intelligent Data Import
Turn contracts, rooming lists and other event documents into structured operational data without manual entry.
Less manual work. More intelligent operations.
KNO Events puts your event data to work, helping teams find answers faster, reduce manual entry and make better-informed decisions.
Where our strengths meet
We see an opportunity to create a more connected experience for event teams combining two purpose-built technologies while allowing each to stay focused on what it does best.
Complementary by design
Workgrounds specializes in group hotel sourcing and management. KNO brings the broader event operations together. Together, we can connect two critical parts of the planning process.
Shared customers
We serve the same event teams, with technology designed to reduce manual logistics and give planners more time to focus on higher-value work.
Aligned philosophy
Neither company needs to solve every part of event planning. We believe specialized technology can deliver a better experience when the right solutions work together.
What we could unlock together
Extended customer journey
Connect hotel sourcing and contracting with broader event operations, creating a more continuous experience for customers across both platforms.
Expand what we can offer
Give both companies the ability to offer a more complete solution by connecting complementary capabilities without needing to build outside their core expertise.
Shared growth channel
Bring our networks, customers and marketing efforts together to expand our collective reach, create new revenue opportunities and introduce both platforms to more event teams.
Built by event people, for event people
We're excited to explore how KNO Events and Workgrounds can combine our strengths to create more value for the event teams we serve.
