Allva is a digital platform that lets people plan events in a stress-free way. Because why is it that in a digital era when we have endless information at our fingertips, it has gotten more time consuming to figure things out? Take people planning a wedding for example.

Sometimes we just want someone who tells us exactly what to do, and Allva does just that for the big events in life. On our event planning platform, we are providing the users with prefilled and personalized content by the use of Artificial Intelligence. We make the actual project for them. The platform guides them through the entire planning process, and shows them relevant articles, tips, and ads along the way. For advertisers, Allva creates completely new opportunities by offering contextual marketing to a pre-segmented target group that is in a buying state of mind. Allva saves time, money, and frustrations. For people planning events, and the advertisers who wants to reach them. And with our existing concept for weddings, over 3000 users have already shown us that people need help planning their events.
