Huge Ideas
Posted November 26th, 2009 by Scott
If you have been following the trials and tribulations of Hugeobject closely, you might have heard that we launched a brand new product a little while ago.
It’s called Eventarc, and we are pretty pleased with how it turned out.
What is Eventarc?
Eventarc is an online registration and ticketing system. We built it to be the easiest way to accept registrations online for any sized event. It is completely self service, so you can get started right away with a free account.
What can I use it for?
Eventarc really is quite flexible. You can use it for:
and much more!
How much does it cost?
Eventarc is free for free events. That means if you have an event to run and you are not charging for entry, then Eventarc is completely free. Nothing to pay, ever!
For paid events, our pricing model is quite simple. We don’t charge setup, monthly, annual or design fees. Just a small 5% service fee (minimum $1, maximum $8) on all currency transactions, which you can choose to pass onto the ticket buyer.
Where can I sign up?
You can create a free account online right now, and find out for yourself why Eventarc is the best way to process online event registrations!

Sorry.
Taking our guidance from Priscilla, we can do no better than to reprint this extract from Paul Keatings Redfern Speech, December 1997.
… The starting point might be to recognise that the problem starts with us non-Aboriginal Australians.
It begins, I think, with that act of recognition – recognition that it was we who did the dispossessing. We took the traditional lands and smashed the traditional way of life.
We brought the diseases. The alcohol.
We committed the murders.
We took the children from their mothers.
We practised discrimination and exclusion.
It was our ignorance and our prejudice. And our failure to imagine these things being done to us.
With some noble exceptions, we failed to make the most basic human response and enter into their hearts and minds.
We failed to ask – how would I feel if this were done to me?
As a consequence, we failed to see that what we were doing degraded all of us.
The ABC will be streaming the apology live at 9am. We will be tuned in.
