Humanitix partners with Canva for world-first roll out of Canva Button
Humanitix has revealed their role as the first event-management platform to integrate with the Canva Button, empowering Humanitix users to create event banners using Canva, without leaving their platform.
The Canva Button is an API released by Canva that enables online platforms to give their users design superpowers.
Humanitix, a non-for-profit ticketing platform which utilises funds raised from event booking fees to fund education programs, was selected as a launch partner for the Canva Button, and is the first online ticketing platform to release the integration.
Mike Williams, product manager for the Canva Button said millions of people use Canva every month to promote and showcase their events with a Canva design.
“We’re thrilled to see Humanitix embrace the Canva Button to help streamline the design process for their users, and give their already great event creation experience that extra edge.”
Co-CEO of Humanitix, Josh Ross said canva has been a huge supporter of Humanitix’s mission to use event booking fees to close the education gap.
“Because Canva worked with Humanitix for their pilot roll out, we’ve been able to offer world-first event-management features to our users, who can create professional banners and promotional graphics right from within our platform.
“It means better events, more tickets sold, and more booking fees for our education projects. It’s all about running events with impact.
One such event organiser is CJ Holden, who uses Humanitix for events for KPMG’s High Growth Ventures and the highly acclaimed Space Series event in Byron Bay.
This is a game changer for event organisers. We run events for CEOs and tech-leaders, so everything needs to be perfect and beautiful. The Canva Button on Humanitix has cut the back-and-forth with graphic designers. It’s taken the platform to a whole new level,” said Holden.
Amanda Price, the Head of High Growth Ventures at KPMG commented on the partnership.
“I’m so excited to see the Australian tech ecosystem coming together like this. Canva is Australia’s poster child unicorn, and Humanitix is growing so fast that they may well become the first charity unicorn. Everyone wins when high growth ventures collaborate.”
Humanitix is doubling in size every few months as event organisers and ticket buyers flock to their platform. Latest figures project more than 3 million ticket buyers visiting their platform each year. Booking fees on Humanitix have already funded 150,000 meals for disadvantaged school kids, scholarships for indigenous students, and 52,000 days of education for girls.
