About

Brenton Webster

CEO & Founder

Brenton has over 14 years' experience in the technology industry and over 8 years running an event production company, where he has produced some of the largest events in Seattle.

Prior to starting Shindigg, Brenton worked as a architect for Microsoft where he helped large companies around the world architect and build high-profile, high-scale projects across a variety of industries including financial services, automotive and telecommunications. Brenton studied Computer Science at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia where he was awarded the University Medal. In 2000, Brenton moved from Sydney to Seattle where he's now based.

Brenton produced his first big event in 2005 when a black tie birthday party with a couple of friends grew from an invitation list of 80 people to over 400 in just a month. 250 people showed up for that event. What started as a birthday party morphed into an event production company that now produces an average of 4 large events per year with up to 2000 attendees per event.

Brenton's combination of technical and business background combined with in-depth experience acquired by producing his own events gives him unique insight into the needs of event producers. He is continually leveraging his event production experience to improve Shindigg with the goal of making it the ultimate resource for people to create, manage and promote their events online.

In his spare time Brenton enjoys CrossFit, traveling, snowboarding, running and the occasional nice bottle of red.
