Event registration and ticketing platform

Event registration, tickets and check-in

Space Works Events is a free, open-source, self-hosted event platform for maker and community events that handles event pages, registrations, live QR tickets, door check-in, ID cards, member programmes, feedback and certificates.

Space Works Events lets you publish an event page, take registrations, send live QR tickets, check people in at the door, print ID cards, run a member programme and follow up with feedback and certificates, all from one self-hosted app you control. Events are free by default; when you charge, tickets are paid straight to your own Razorpay or Stripe account with no platform fee. There are no ads or third-party trackers, guests' data stays in your own database, and it is built on Yuyu by Abhiram N J.
