The Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) has created an app for Andriod and Apple products to assist event planners and producers.

Busy planners and producers are freed from costly office time by accessing an extensive industry network on-the-go. The smart phone application helps users seek quotes, find new vendors and compare services while providing safety-minded professional suppliers.

A simple menu provides a checklist of options including desired accessories, type of event, number of guests and any special requests. Tent size is calculated and the location-based technology can then send a quote request to area suppliers for a timely estimate—all with a few simple key strokes.

Here’s a short video preview.

There’s no doubt that online ticketing platform Eventbrite is growing like gangbusters. The platform is on track to sell $400 million worth of tickets this year, which is double the $207 million it did last year. The company could reach $1 billion in gross ticket sales in 2012. And part of Eventbrite’s future plan will include a public offering. Co-founder Kevin Hartz tells ZURB in a recently published podcast that Eventbrite could file to go public as early as late 2012 (at the 38 minute mark in the podcast) if the company reaches certain performance benchmarks.
