Conference software for open source events brings the call for papers, registration, agenda, event app, sponsors and on-site check-in of a community-run conference, barcamp or unconference into one platform.
Conference Software For Open Source Events, From CFP To Check-In
Most open source conferences run on five tools that don't talk to each other. Eventify puts proposals, tickets, the schedule, the app, sponsors and badges in one place, with a permanent 10% discount because community-led events deserve serious tooling.

The problem
Your Event Runs On Five Tools. None Of Them Know Each Other.
A CFP tool, a ticketing site, a volunteer spreadsheet, a mailing tool and PDF badges. Every handoff loses data, and next year's organiser rebuilds it all.

Problem
Speakers fill in their bio three times.
Speakers edit their own photo, bio, social links and slides once, in their speaker profile.
Problem
Volunteers miss the schedule change.
Volunteers get their own user group and the live agenda in the app, and you can push them a notification when a session moves.
Problem
Sponsors get a different experience.
Sponsors get tiered listings, a booth profile and lead scanning inside the same app your attendees use.
Problem
Every year starts from zero.
Clone last year's event to keep its setup, then update the dates and open the new CFP.
Problem
Attendee data sits in five exports.
Request a full event data export: every CSV and uploaded file in one archive.
Problem
Ticket fees eat a volunteer budget.
Free tickets carry a $0 Eventify fee, and paid tickets a flat $1, with ticketing through your own payment gateway.

How we compare
Eventify Vs The Stitched-Together Stack
An honest look at what each job takes with separate tools and with one platform.
| The job | With separate tools | With Eventify |
|---|---|---|
| Call for papers and review | A CFP tool such as Pretalx, Sessionize or OpenConf | Abstract portal with anonymous, multi-round review |
| Registration and tickets | A separate ticketing site with its own checkout | Tickets and coupons, $0 fee on free tickets |
| Schedule and event app | A schedule export, often with no native app | iOS and Android app with personal agenda |
| Volunteer roster | A shared spreadsheet | Volunteer user group with restricted access |
| Speaker and attendee updates | A mailing tool, with lists exported by hand | Email campaigns and push notifications by group |
| Badges and check-in | PDF badges printed before the event | QR check-in and kiosk badge printing on the day |
| Sponsors | Logos on a web page | Tiers, booth profiles, lead scanning, analytics |
| Open source discount | Varies by tool | 10% off every plan, for good |
Pretalx is excellent at what it does, and we recommend it for organisers who only need a CFP and a schedule. If you also need registration, an event app, sponsor tools and on-site check-in, Eventify gives you all of it in one system, with a permanent 10% discount.

FAQ
Open Source Conference Questions, Answered
Is Eventify itself open source software?
No. Eventify is a commercial SaaS product: software for open source events, not open source software itself. We give a permanent 10% discount to open source events because we believe the community deserves accessible, serious tooling.
How do I qualify for the 10% open source discount?
Your event needs to be community-led, non-commercial in spirit and focused on free or open source software, hardware, data or culture. Non-profits, foundations, OSPOs, user groups and student-run events all qualify. Mention open source when you book your demo, or email hello@eventify.io a link to your event page.
Can I move my data from Pretalx, Sessionize or OpenConf?
Yes. Export your sessions and speakers as CSV and bulk import them into Eventify from a CSV or XLSX file, along with exhibitors and sponsors. If you would rather hand it over, the paid Event Concierge service can load your content for you.
Do you support anonymous CFP review?
Yes. Anonymous review hides the submitter's name and email from reviewers. You set the review criteria and their scale (1 to 5, 1 to 10, text or accept and reject), assign reviewers by round robin, at random or by hand, and run several review rounds in sequence or in parallel. Accepted abstracts become sessions in your agenda.
Do you support hybrid and fully virtual events?
Yes. Eventify runs in-person, hybrid and fully virtual events. Paste a stream link for any session, such as YouTube Live, Zoom or a custom stream, add recording links for replays, and give sponsors virtual booths.
How do I handle Code of Conduct reports?
Attendees can flag posts in the event community as inappropriate. Flagged posts appear in the Reported Contents tab, where your moderators keep or delete them, and the Help and Support chat gives attendees a private line to your team.
Is Eventify GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Eventify is GDPR compliant, with a Data Protection Officer and data centres in the European Union (the Netherlands). We publish our subprocessor list, offer a custom DPA and honour data deletion requests. Eventify is also ISO 27001:2022 certified and SOC 2 Type II audited.
Can attendees use the event app in their own language?
Yes. Add languages under Settings › Language and the app interface is shown in those languages. Event content, such as session descriptions, stays in the language you write it in.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the plan and your event size; see pricing plans. Open source events get 10% off every plan, free tickets carry no Eventify fee and paid tickets a flat $1. Book a demo for an exact quote.
