Creating a common language in Event Technology
The industry has grown quickly, but without a shared structure, confusion reigns. Inconsistent labels, vague definitions, and a flood of options lead to buyer mistrust. A collective framework brings clarity, credibility, and confidence that event professionals need to navigate toward the right solutions.

How CECI works
The Certified EventTech Classification Initiative is more than a list—it’s a living framework.
CECI is driven by three core components working in harmony to define and evolve the structure behind the technology:
The Registry – A centralized system managed by GoLucid that stores and maintains validated classification data
The Guild – Event technology vendors who help shape the model through active engagement
The Council – Industry experts who ensure integrity, neutrality, and evolution of the framework
