Event Smart
Event registration and ticketing platform for event organizers.
Event Smart is a hosted event registration and ticketing service that lets organizers create an event page, define ticket types or registration options, ask custom registration questions, and collect payments online. Attendees receive tickets by email, which can be scanned at the door with a phone or tablet. The platform is powered by Event Espresso, an open source WordPress event registration plugin, and runs on managed hosting so no technical knowledge is required to publish events.
Core capabilities include an event calendar, reusable venues, waitlists, an event cart, CSV import of guest lists, attendee list downloads, Google Analytics tracking, and collaboration for teams. Payment options include credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, invoices, and offline payments through supported gateways such as Stripe, PayPal, Square, and Authorize.net. Free check-in apps scan QR or bar codes to validate tickets and record check-ins and check-outs. Themes allow branding of the event website, and confirmation emails can include links to virtual event services such as Zoom or Google Hangouts.
Event Smart is aimed at independent organizers, enterprise clients hosting many events, and venues managing registration for multiple events. It is packaged as a free Basic plan alongside Personal and Business subscription plans, with a 14-day trial of the Business plan. Individual features can be added as a la carte upgrades on the Basic plan, and annual plans are available with a discount.
