Cadence Spotlight: CEO Joe Patalano on What Makes Event Cadence Different
At Event Cadence, we believe the best experiences are built on relationships. Technology is only as powerful as the people behind it, and our CEO and co-founder, Joe Patalano, has made that philosophy the heartbeat of our company. In our recent Cadence Spotlight interview, Joe shared how our team, culture, and platform are redefining what it means to deliver peace of mind in the world of events.
Why Event Cadence Is Different
When asked what sets Event Cadence apart, Joe didn’t hesitate:
“It’s the people. Our culture is rooted in care, and that shows up in every interaction.”
We’re not just building software, we’re building trust. Our team sweats the small stuff so clients don’t have to, whether that means anticipating needs onsite or ensuring every attendee feels valued. The platform is an extension of that philosophy, it’s designed to remove friction, simplify logistics, and let organizers focus on what matters most: connection.
Delivering Peace of Mind
Events are complex. Deadlines, logistics, and thousands of moving parts can overwhelm even the most seasoned teams. Joe explained that our goal is simple:
“We give organizers peace of mind. They know we’ve thought through the details, so they can focus on the bigger picture.”
That peace of mind comes from a blend of white-glove service and intuitive technology. From registration to onsite support, we’ve built workflows that anticipate challenges before they arise. The result is confidence, for organizers, attendees, and partners alike.
Proof at the World’s Biggest Congresses
It’s one thing to talk about excellence, it’s another to prove it on the global stage. Event Cadence has supported major congresses like ESMO and ASCO, where thousands of attendees and countless sessions demand flawless execution. Joe reflected on those experiences:
“When you can deliver at that scale, with that level of complexity, it shows the strength of both the team and the platform.”
These congresses are proof points that Event Cadence isn’t just built for small meetings or mid-sized events,it scales seamlessly to the largest gatherings in the world.
Product Highlights That Drive Outcomes
Our platform isn’t about features for the sake of features. Each tool is designed to solve a real problem and deliver a tangible outcome.
- Will Call ensures attendees never feel lost or overlooked. It’s about creating a smooth arrival experience that sets the tone for the entire event.
- Mutual Requests makes networking intentional. By giving attendees the ability to connect with those they truly want to meet, we turn chance encounters into meaningful relationships.
Joe summed it up best: “These aren’t just tools, they’re ways to make people feel seen and supported.”
Relationships in an AI-Driven World
In today’s landscape, where AI and virtual platforms dominate headlines, Joe believes relationships matter more than ever. “Technology should enhance human connection, not replace it,” he said.
That’s why Event Cadence is built around the idea that every interaction, whether digital or in-person, should feel personal. Our platform uses automation to reduce stress, but it never loses sight of the human element. Because at the end of the day, events aren’t about software, they’re about people.
