Meetup and workshop software

Meetup and workshop software that starts free.

Register attendees, check them in, and follow up, with the tools in place from your first event and room to grow.

Small events deserve the same clarity as large ones. EventLantern gives meetups and workshops registration, check-in, an event page, and attendee records on the Free plan, with no credit card and no sales call.

Set up in minutes

Create an event, open registration, and publish a page the same day. There is no onboarding cycle.

Everything you need on day one

Session scheduling, speaker profiles, QR check-in, badges, an attendee portal, and surveys are all included on the Free plan.
