From SXSW.com : “ArtistForce is a revolutionary online software service for the live entertainment community. Its founder, Jonathan Romley, experienced the inefficiency of the process of booking live talent from the point of view of all parties involved: The artist, the agent, the promoter, the manager, the talent buyer. He was constantly bothered by the fact that these “fragmented relationships and redundant processes resulted in the loss of millions in revenue and hours in productivity. So he created ArtistForce. Along with a team he describes as “individuals with deep, life-long, personal passion for live entertainment,” they have created a system with professional-grade software services that provides “on-demand entertainment relationship management.” It allows all parties involved in booking to conduct business online in real time. ArtistForce will announce its public launch date during SXSW. Stop by their stand on the trade show floor at numbers 314 and 413 to meet with executives and business development representatives.
