I am Emil R. Ljesnjanin, the founder and CEO of Tixbase, an end-to-end ticketing ecosystem dedicated to transforming the event industry by addressing challenges such as bots, fraud, transparency, and the secondary market. Born in Europe and raised in New York City, my multicultural background has significantly influenced my innovative approach to business.
Prior to founding Tixbase, I achieved success in real estate development with A to Z Group. In 2019, after exiting this venture, I launched Tixbase, combining my passions for music, sports, technology, and the arts to revolutionize ticketing through blockchain technology.
Under my leadership, Tixbase has reached significant milestones, including securing over 26 million annual ticket sales and winning the 2022 UK Festival Awards' Best Innovation Award. We also launched TixChain, the world's first ticketing blockchain, further establishing our leadership in the industry.
My commitment to innovation continues as we integrate advanced technologies, such as biometrics and AI, to enhance user experience and security, aiming to set new standards in event ticketing.More...
