Built for the people
who make events happen.
From intimate community gatherings to major festivals, FestEvental gives you the tools to run your event the way you want to run it.
Every seat at the table
Whether you're buying a ticket or running the show, there's a place for you on FestEvental.
Run your event, end to end

Become a speakerEverything you need to run a great event
From the first ticket sale to the final presentation, manage every part of your event from one dashboard.
From a Single Day to a Multi-Day Event.
Build your event's program at whatever level of detail you need. A one-day event with a flat schedule works just as well as a multi-day event with named areas and dozens of presentations. Add days, define your custom named areas within those days, and slot presentations into specific time blocks. Your attendees see a structured, browsable program. You see a dashboard where everything is organized and nothing overlaps unless you want it to.
Build your program- Single-day or multi-day event structures
- Your custom named areas within each day (Main Stage, Workshop Room, Vendor Hall, etc.)
- Presentations with start times, durations, and speaker assignments
- Published schedule your attendees can browse before and during the event
Sell Tickets. Keep What You Earn.
Create as many tickets as your event needs, with full control over pricing, availability, and access. Payments go directly into your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect. There's no middleman holding your revenue. A flat platform fee per ticket keeps pricing simple, and the advertised price is what your attendees pay. Tickets can be scoped to a specific day or to the entire event, so a Saturday Pass and a Full Weekend Pass can live side by side.
Start selling tickets- Paid, free, and invite-only tickets with access codes
- Early bird pricing that switches automatically on your schedule
- Waitlists for sold-out tickets with automatic offer notifications
- Stripe Connect payments go straight to your account
- Per-event and per-day ticket scoping
Add, Organize, and Schedule Your Speakers.
Manage your entire speaker lineup from one place. Add speakers to your event, assign them to presentations, and track their confirmation status. Speakers get their own profiles on the platform where they can manage their availability and see what they've been booked for. No more spreadsheets and email chains to figure out who's confirmed and who's presenting where.
Manage your speakers- Add speakers and assign them to specific presentations
- Speaker profiles with bios, photos, and social links
- Confirmation tracking so you know who's locked in
- Speakers manage their own availability and bookings
Build Your Program From Every Direction.
Not every great presentation starts with the organizer. FestEvental gives you three separate pipelines to fill your schedule. Your staff can brainstorm ideas internally, your community can submit ideas for what they want to see, and speakers can submit formal proposals for consideration. Each pipeline has its own workflow with optional voting and discussion, and the best ideas move seamlessly into your schedule when you're ready.
Get started- Staff brainstorming with optional voting and discussion for internal ideation
- Community ideas where your audience suggests what they want to see
- Speaker proposals with a structured submission and review workflow
- Move approved ideas directly into your event schedule
Bring the Right People Into the Right Spaces.
Vendors can list their own services and catalogs on the platform, or organizers can add them directly. Book the ones you need for your event, track confirmations, and manage their placement. Venues work the same way: spaces are listed with their details, and organizers connect directly to coordinate logistics. Sponsors get a managed listing attached to your event so their presence is visible to attendees.
Get started- Vendor catalog and booking management with confirmation tracking
- Venue listings with space details and organizer coordination
- Sponsor list management attached to your event
- All parties coordinated from your event dashboard
Staff Your Event. Run Your Door.
Assign roles to your team with granular access levels. Owners, managers, staff, door personnel, and specialty coordinators each see exactly what they need and nothing they don't. When doors open, your team uses the built-in QR scanner to check in attendees. The scanner shows ticket details and re-entry status on scan so door staff always know what they're looking at. Generate printable badges for attendees ahead of time.
Get started- Role-based access: owner, manager, staff, door staff, and specialty coordinators
- Built-in QR ticket scanner with real-time check-in
- Re-entry policies: none, free re-entry, wristbands, stamps, or badge/lanyard
- Badge generation with attendee details and QR codes
- Activity log so nothing gets missed
Run It Solo or Build a Team Behind It.
You don't need an organization to put on an event, but when you're running multiple events or working with a team, organizations give you a shared home base. Create an org, invite members, and manage events under one roof. Members see what they have access to, and ownership is clear. If you're a solo organizer, skip it entirely and go straight to creating your event.
Get started- Create organizations with invited members
- Manage multiple events under one org
- Clear ownership and member access
- Optional: solo organizers can skip orgs entirely
