What CommunalEvents can do for you
CommunalEvents
CommunalEvents is a cloud platform that powers event, venue and host listings on your website and mobile app. Your users can search, view, book, review and request. Your web app can have any design layout.
By offering event workflow features, CommunalEvents specialises in supporting events that are more complicated than just buying a ticket. For example, events where a minimum booking number must be reached or where booking confirmation is required.

- Events with some workflow – only proceed if enough bookings are taken, request an event and respond to the request, register your interest etc.
- Uber, Airbnb and many others disrupt markets by taking your asset (car, house, venue etc) and putting it to financial use. CommunalEvents supports this paradigm by being the platform that will underpin booking these assets (trip in a car, holiday in a house, desk in an office, register to shoot a movie on your property).
- Use any communal space – restaurants/bars, cinemas/theatres, gyms/sports venues, or even online ‘spaces’
- CommunalEvents supports more than just events, venues and attendees. For example you may have celebrity hosts that you wish to review or sponsors that can request events or promoters who organise events. Attendees could even be pets!
