What Eventyay is
Eventyay is a free, open-source event management platform from FOSSASIA. It combines public event pages, registration, ticket products, orders, payments, proposals, sessions, schedules, badges and check-in in one Django application. Organizers can manage calls for papers, submissions, speakers and schedules, alongside attendee email and exhibitor tools. Online events can include streaming, interactive rooms, chat, polls, Q&A, reactions, direct messaging, networking and recordings. Listed room options are Stream through YouTube or HLS, BigBlueButton, Jitsi and Janus, subject to platform flags and organizer permissions. Stripe, PayPal and bank transfer are available through payment plugins that may need enabling or installation. A HubSpot plugin can sync paid order and attendee data as contacts or deals. The REST API supports token and OAuth2 authentication, pagination, filtering, searching and webhooks. Eventyay is offered as a hosted service or self-hosted installation, with Android and API platforms. Self-hosted operators handle deployment, backups, monitoring and upgrades.
