It supports in-person, hybrid and virtual events, as well as awards and abstract management. Event websites, automated communications and programme tools help organizers publish agendas and reach attendees.

Eventsforce Mobile can provide branded apps with personalised agendas, QR scanning, notifications, polls, surveys, maps, meeting booking and engagement reporting. The platform lists Android, iOS, web and API availability, along with ticketing, session registration, badge printing and payment processing. API integrations can connect with systems for CRM, finance, membership, security, payments, mobile apps and corporate websites; Salesforce is specifically named. Pricing is paid and available on request, with costs based on usage and selected add-ons. Packages can be annual or fixed-cost multi-year. Eventsforce says its solution is intended for events of any size and industry.

Eventsforce brings event planning, registration and attendee tools into a web-based platform, with mobile app options and integrations. Organizations should account for quote-based pricing and the fact that staffing, hardware and event building are not provided.

Eventsforce suits organizers managing in-person, hybrid or virtual events, including events with registration, ticketing or attendee engagement needs. Its listed tools also support awards and abstract management.

Overview

Eventsforce is an event operations platform for organizations that need registration, attendee communications and event-day participation managed in one place. It is a strong fit for teams running complex or recurring events across in-person, hybrid and virtual formats; smaller organizers should weigh its custom pricing and setup needs against that breadth.

Key features

Event websites, customizable registration forms, automated communications, agenda publishing and reporting connect marketing and planning with attendee management. Group bookings, ticketing, check-in, session attendance tracking, badge printing and payment processing extend that workflow to event day. The range suits organizers who want fewer disconnected systems, though Eventsforce does not build events or provide staff and hardware.

Eventsforce Mobile supports branded apps with personalised agendas, QR scanning, notifications, polls, surveys, maps, meeting booking and engagement reporting. Those tools can give attendees a central place to navigate and participate, particularly at larger programmes; teams should be prepared to manage the app as part of their event operation. The platform also covers awards and abstract management, making it relevant to programs built around submissions or judging.

API integrations cover CRM, finance, membership, security, payment gateway, mobile app and corporate website systems, with Salesforce named specifically. Payment options include PayPal Commerce, Square, Stripe and Adyen, with gateways varying by country. Eventsforce says browser traffic is protected with HTTPS using TLS 1.1 or higher, core servers are in the EU, and each client has a separate database.

Pricing

Eventsforce is paid software with custom pricing based on usage, such as registrations or awards, and selected add-ons. Packages may be annual or fixed-cost multi-year, so buyers should clarify the expected usage, included add-ons and commitment before comparing quotes. No published price makes it difficult for smaller teams to estimate cost before speaking with the vendor.

• Essential: Custom pricing. Includes event websites, customizable registration forms, unlimited ticketing and pricing, Stripe payment gateway, check-in app, Help Centre and live chat. It covers core event workflows, but omits group-ticketing tools and the higher tiers’ integrations and account support.
• Professional: Custom pricing. Adds group ticketing, group invitations, group sessions, group packages and pricing, plus live phone support. It is the more suitable step for events selling or coordinating attendance in groups.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing. Adds Zapier integrations, open API access, custom payment gateway integration, personalised onboarding and a dedicated account manager. These additions are most relevant to organizations with integration requirements or a need for a more supported rollout.

Client support is included at no charge and available 24/5 by live chat, email or phone. The maker recommends allowing around four weeks to get a solution running, with dedicated onboarding and tailored training described for Enterprise.

Platforms

Eventsforce supports web, Android and iOS, and offers an API. The mobile app, check-in and session attendance tools make its platform relevant both to planning teams and attendees during an event.

Who it's for

Eventsforce is best suited to organizations seeking a connected system for event websites, registration, communications and on-site attendance, especially those running hybrid or virtual events or managing awards and abstract programmes. Teams that need event staffing, equipment or a vendor to build and deliver events should look elsewhere. The maker positions it for events of any size and industry, but the quote-based pricing and recommended setup period make advance planning important.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Broad coverage from event websites and registration through check-in, session tracking and reporting can bring several event workflows together.
• Pro: Branded attendee apps include agenda, navigation and engagement tools, useful for events where participants need more than a registration confirmation.
• Pro: Included 24/5 support and payment gateway options offer practical help across event operations and payments.
• Con: Custom pricing tied to usage and add-ons makes budgets harder to establish without a quote.
• Con: The software does not include staffing, hardware or event building, leaving delivery and equipment to the organizer.
• Con: A roughly four-week setup recommendation means it is not an obvious choice for a team that needs a solution running immediately.

Verdict

Choose Eventsforce if your organization needs one platform for event planning, registration, attendee communications and on-site participation across multiple formats, and can accommodate custom pricing and a planned rollout. Its strongest reason to buy is the breadth of its attendee and organizer tools, backed by included support; look elsewhere if you need a published price, rapid setup, or event staff and hardware as part of the service.
