For organizers
Two tracks. One platform.
Academic and industry conferences have different goals. Pick the track that matches yours and see the tools, pricing, and audience built for it.
Built for research.
Universities, societies, research groups, and scholarly conferences.
- Curated discoverability for a global research audience
- Agenda-first event page with speakers and affiliations
- Free listings, low-cost promotion when you need reach
- Editorial review keeps the platform credible
Built for professional events.
Professional, commercial, and sector-specific conferences.
- Ticket-CTA-first event page with speakers and sponsors
- Direct Stripe payouts — money never sits with us
- Targeted distribution across search, browsing, and email
- Promotion bundles for additional reach
Same platform, same 5% + $1.29 per paid ticket, same Stripe payouts. The difference is how your event is presented and how you reach the right audience.
Not sure which track?
Choose Academic if your conference is run by a university, society, lab, or research group, has a CFP or peer-reviewed program, and is primarily for researchers and practitioners exchanging knowledge.
Choose Industry if your conference is run by a company or commercial organizer, sells paid tickets as a primary goal, features industry speakers and sponsors, and competes for professional attendees' time and budget.
You can change your event type later — but it's worth picking the right one upfront because it changes your event page template, recommended promotion bundle, and pricing.
