Active Network, LLC, is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Dallas, Texas, that provides software as a service for activity and participant management. ACTIVE's management software supports a range of clients including: races, nonprofits, outdoor activities, camps, sports, schools, and universities. On October 18, 2022, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) sued the online event registration company ACTIVE Network for tricking people trying to sign up for fundraising road races and other events, into enrolling into its annual subscription discount club, Active Advantage. The CFPB’s lawsuit describes how ACTIVE automatically and unlawfully enrolled families into its discount club by using digital duplicity. Consumers, many of whom just thought they were registering for a community race or event, ended up being enrolled into a costly membership club. The CFPB is suing to require ACTIVE to change this unlawful enrollment practice, reimburse consumers, and pay a penalty.3

How it started

History

ACTIVE was founded in 1998 by Jim Woodman under the name of Active USA as an information source for recreational athletes looking for regional sports information. In December 1999, ActiveUSA and Racegate merged in a deal that brought TicketMaster City Search as a major investor and the combined entity became headquartered in La Jolla, Calif.

ACTIVE underwent a round of mergers and acquisitions in 1999 and 2000 with companies including: LeagueLink, Inc, Eteamz and Sierra Digital (RecWare).

On May 25, 2011, ACTIVE went public at $15 per share under the ticker symbol “ACTV” and completed its initial public offering two days later.

On September 30, 2013, ACTIVE announced it was to be acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1.05 billion, completing the sale on November 15 of the same year, at which time the company's president, Darko Dejanovic, was named CEO.

Following its acquisition, ACTIVE moved its corporate headquarters from San Diego to Dallas.
