Abhishek Mani Tripathi Event Technology Product & Live Production
Open to senior roles in Event Technology Product, Delivery and Live Production.
Keeping live shows calm, even when they shouldn't be.
I work in event tech. Registration, event apps, streaming and broadcast ops. The audience sees a clean show. I see the signal chain, the backup paths and the things most likely to break first.
Thirteen years in. I have run the show floor, and now I own the technology behind it. At Kestone, I manage four products my team built from scratch: the onsite registration and experience suite, the YZ in-person event app, a virtual event platform and a webinar product. The app brings agendas, AI matchmaking, polling and moderated Q&A into the same journey.
Registration is where most of my work sits. Pre-event forms and approvals, RSVP management, onsite registration and QR check-in, smart badge printing, session tracking, booth lead capture, feedback and giveaway tracking. One connected attendee journey, from the first invite to post-event follow-up.
Before product, I produced Google and YouTube APAC events through MCI Group across India, Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia. Before that I built and led a five-person engineering team at Kestone delivering 450+ virtual and hybrid events a year.
Same goal every time: build something that holds up, fix problems before anyone sees them, and stay calm when the count hits zero.
Things I built and ran live.
Not a job-title list. These are real problems I got handed, the tools I built to fix them, and the numbers from the other side.
From the first invite to the last badge scan.
Registration is the backbone of every event I run. One flow from invite to follow-up, so the data captured at the door is still useful when sales picks it up.
The plumbing behind a clean broadcast.
Signal doesn't move itself. This is the kit and the workflow I set up for live and hybrid shows.
Reading the room before anyone walks in.
VIRSA uses registration data to auto-classify 80 to 90% of attendees by industry and predict intent from profile and company context. Registration to attendance went from 30% to 42%, and reconfirmation calling dropped 28%. Badge tagging by role and intent lets floor teams spot buyers, partners and other groups at a glance.
Project engineer to product owner.
The shows kept getting bigger, and so did everything I was on the hook to keep on air. Then I moved to the other side and started building the tools instead.
What I actually use.
The stacks, protocols and platforms behind the work. Certified where it counts.
Got a role or a show coming up?
If you need event tech that just works and stays out of the way, that's what I do. Product, delivery or live production, happy to chat.
