Conference registration platform, built for India

Whether it's a 200-person industry summit or a 10,000-person tech conference, the moving parts are the same. Registration. Multiple tracks. A kiosk at the door printing badges. Speakers uploading their decks. Live polls in sessions. A GST invoice for every paid ticket. We handle all of that on your own domain, in your brand.

What you get on day one

A real conference timeline

Last October we ran a 40-speaker fintech summit in Bengaluru. Three tracks. 812 attendees registered, 674 walked in. Here is how the tool actually held up.

T-30 days. Speaker Portal went out first. Every speaker got a private link, dropped in bio, headshot and deck. We set two chase reminders. By day 22, all 40 bios were confirmed. Compare that to the previous year on Google Sheets, where four speakers pinged the wrong deck on show day.

T-14. Registrations crossed 500. Session RSVP opened for track picks so we knew which room needed the extra 60 chairs. The two AI-track sessions filled first, waitlist auto-promoted 47 people over the next fortnight.

T-7. Attendee PWA installed by 63% of registrants. Push reminders started firing. GST invoices were auto-issued for the paid Premium tier through Razorpay; finance had the CSV ready without a follow-up email.

Show day, 07:40. Two kiosks live at the entrance, one thermal printer at each. Median walk-in-to-badge time settled at 88 seconds. First keynote at 09:30 with 542 in the hall; the Sessions module tracked session-level check-ins per track, so we knew Track B fell 40% below RSVP by lunch.

During sessions. Live Polls & Q&A on the projector. 1,847 votes across the day, 214 upvoted questions. Speakers said it was the first time they answered the actual top-voted question first, not the loudest one.

T+2. Certificates went out to 611 checked-in attendees, each with a verification page. Post-event NPS collected 289 responses, 71 NPS. Sponsor deck for next year was 80% written from that one report.

What breaks when you use a general tool for conferences

Google Forms plus Eventbrite plus WhatsApp broadcast plus Slido plus a Canva badge template. That is roughly what every first-time conference organiser tries. Then things break in order:

The form does not know about tracks, so you send everyone a single confirmation and 400 people show up to a room with 220 chairs. The speaker portal is a Google Drive folder; two speakers upload PDFs at 2 AM the night before, one of them password-protected. The badge template needs Photoshop to change 400 names one at a time.

At the door, an intern is looking people up in Ctrl+F on a laptop screen. Slido needs its own login and an event code on a slide the audience keeps missing. Certificates are a mail-merge job someone does at 11 PM two nights later, minus the four names with typos. GST invoices? A separate Excel your finance team hates. Post-event feedback is a Typeform link that 6% of attendees ever open.

Nothing is wrong with any of those tools alone. The problem is the seams between them. A conference platform is really the seam-remover.
