GatherUs – turn your events into a returning community.

Most event tools forget your attendees between events. GatherUs remembers them — and makes every return feel recognised. Built for innovation hubs, accelerators, and recurring community events.

When event logistics get in the way

Running recurring events is easy. Building a community from them isn't. Most event tools treat every attendee as a first-time visitor — no memory, no recognition, no compounding value. Your regulars re-register every time. Your data resets. The relationships you're trying to build don't show up anywhere.

GatherUs was built to change that — starting at check-in.

Built for communities that keep coming back

GatherUs is used by innovation hubs, coworking spaces, accelerators, and event organizers who run recurring community-driven events. Returning attendees are recognised automatically — their profile travels with them, and their badge shows how many times they've shown up.

The picture builds, event by event

Every check-in adds to the profile. Every event adds to the trend. Over months and events, you stop guessing who your community is — you know their visit history, their interests, how often they come back, and who's at risk of drifting away. GatherUs turns recurring events into a growing body of community intelligence.

Help your attendees find each other

Show attendees who else is coming, filtered by shared interests. Your regulars spot familiar faces. New connections start before the event does.

Full event lifecycle

From registration to real-time interaction

GatherUs supports every stage of the event experience — before, during, and after.

Check in once and be remembered

Attendees scan, print, and walk in within seconds. No queue, no manual lookup — and their badge is already personalised when it comes out.

Keep every attendee in the loop

Agendas, session browsing, and real-time notifications — attendees stay oriented and connected from the moment they check in.

Pre- and post-event communication

Invitations, reminders, and post-event surveys — personalised and automated, so follow-up happens without the extra effort.

Attendance insights and community trends

Track attendance cadence, measure the impact of your programs over time, and spot members who've gone quiet before they drift away — so you can reach out and bring them back.

Turn your community into contributors

Members can become speakers. External partners and contributors can self-manage their own speaker profiles and session details — reducing the back-and-forth for your team while giving contributors real ownership.

Connects with your existing tools

GatherUs works with your stack via Zapier, API, or webhooks — so check-in data, registrations, and community insights flow into the tools you already use.

ORIGIN

Built inside one of the world's most active innovation communities.

GatherUs was created and tested within Venture Café Global — a network welcoming over 100,000 visitors a year across multiple cities. The problem it solved was real: events that filled up every week, but no lasting community forming. People coming back but re-registering every time. Relationships happening in the room that disappeared once the lights went off and the people who should have met each other — never did.

GatherUs was built to change that. Now it's available for any innovation hub, accelerator, or community space dealing with the same challenge.
