Our customers share impactful stories and moments that have given them the passion for their work.

Challenge

There aren’t enough hours in the day for schools to manage all their events. With many competing priorities, separate systems, and tedious tasks, schools are often overwhelmed with administrative work and have limited time to devote to supporting their students and evolving their programs.

Solution

PlayOn empowers schools to move their programs forward with continual innovation. We are the only provider to offer ticketing, streaming, fundraising, concessions, merchandise sales, and website management in one platform. With PlayOn, schools can engage their communities and energize the event experience like never before.

Result

With PlayOn, schools create opportunities for students and provide unmatched access to their communities to discover, enjoy, and relive their favorite moments in person and online.

Our award-winning team.

PlayOn has gained industry recognition for our innovative solutions, company culture, and rapid business growth. Our recent awards include the Inc. 5000, the Atlanta Business Chronicle Pacesetters, the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, the TAG Technology Innovation-Driven Company Award, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Top Places to Work.
