Guestboard

    Lifetime deal

    Organize memorable experiences with a central hub that turns any event into an engaged community

    If The Office taught us anything, it’s that a lot of hard work goes into event planning. (“Who’s taking care of orchids, chocolates, and the thing that’s made of ice?”)

    But sending sporadic emails, answering repeat questions, and updating your event website doesn’t actually help your guests feel connected to the experience—or to each other.

    Get everyone on the same page with an event platform that bridges the gap between basic e-vites and complex attendee management software.

    Say hello to Guestboard.

    TL;DR

    Create your event instantly by choosing a splash image, entering the details, and selecting which event "widgets" work best
    Alternative to: Facebook Events
    Send styled invites via email, upload a CSV, or share a quick invitation link with your network
    Best for: Event planners and organizers who want to enhance their attendee experience in fewer steps and platforms

    Overview

    Guestboard is a modular event platform designed to make organizing and hosting simple.

    Guestboard is an easy-to-use and versatile event platform, making it super accessible to both organizers and guests.

    Using the suite of modular tools, you can instantly customize your event board to match the needs of your event.

    Creating a Guestboard is simple as pie. Just choose a background, enter your event details, and you're ready to share your invite link in literally two minutes!

    Create your schedule in a snap and enable per-item RSVPs to get an accurate headcount for each event!

    Based on your chosen event type, Guestboard will load certain popular widgets by default.

    If you want to customize those choices, you can always edit these widgets using the “+” button in the menu bar.

    Best of all, the dedicated iOS and Android app lets you and your guests stay connected on the go.

    Worried that people won’t open the app often? Don’t be. Guestboard sends beautiful email notifications for the most important updates.

    That way, you don’t have to check five other platforms (#tbt to your AOL email address) to figure out if that one cousin is actually attending the family reunion.

    Update your event on-the-go with Guestboard's dedicated iOS and Android app!

    In a world of Zoom happy hours and FaceTime dates, Guestboard offers a solution for organizing your virtual meetings, making it perfect for hybrid events.

    Whether you’re hosting Q&As, teasers, or other value-add interactions, Guestboard’s Video Chat feature lets you host video meetings before, during, or after your event!

    You can use your own invitation links from Zoom, Google Meet, and more, or jump right in with Guestboard’s own integrated video solution.

    Easily schedule and host video conferences within your Guestboard, thanks to built-in invitations and reminders.

    Want to track RSVPs and centralize communications? Guestboard’s got your back.

    Using the Message Board widget, you can keep all event-related conversations organized like a mini-Reddit for your event community.

    Attendees can use this space to ask questions or even post content that’s collectively valuable to other guests, turning your guest list into your biggest engagement asset.

    Guestboard is also a useful resource for your attendees, letting them view the event agenda, access important resources on demand, and expand their network.

    You can also use "Guest Groups" in order to create private threads and schedule items that are only shown to certain people, such as internal staff, VIPs, and vendors.

    Track RSVPs and assign guests to custom groups—perfect for making private message board posts and scheduling items!

    If you’re hosting smaller group events or you’re looking for a different format than the forum style of the Message Board, you can opt for the handy Chat widget.

    Just like Slack, Guestboard’s Chat is a linear messenger that lets you update all your attendees at once.

    Say goodbye to responding to individual emails and texts asking the same question over and over. (“No, white tie does not mean just wear a white tie.”)

    Guestboard’s Slack-like chat keeps communication organized and all of your guests in the loop.

    You’ve been wasting time and energy sending out email invites and tracking down people who supposedly RSVP’d. (♫ R-S-V-P, find out what it means to me ♪)

    Events are supposed to be fun.

    Whether it’s a camping trip or a tech conference, save your energy for the big day and let Guestboard take care of keeping everyone informed and excited.

    From the founders

    February 08, 2021

    👋 Welcome to the party, Sumolings!

    I’m Peter Vandendriesse, Founder and CEO of Guestboard, and today our team is excited to share our product with you!

    The idea behind Guestboard started when I attended a destination wedding of my cofounder (from a previous startup). I flew across the country, rented a car.. only to find out later that multiple guests were on my same flight. We could have coordinated, shared a rental car, and saved money! But no one knew ahead of time.

    💡

    I realized that for MANY events (not just weddings), there was a real need for a fast, versatile, and affordable platform that was in between a basic invitation and highly technical event management software. Something that could:

    • Send invites & track RSVPs

    • Adapt to a variety of event types

    • Give everyone the information they need (more than just the Who/what/where)

    • Keep attendees engaged leading up to the event

    • Streamline communication between organizers and their group

    We envisioned a cross between Facebook Events and Slack, and we think that description still holds true to what we’ve built.

    🙌 Since the early days, we’ve expanded past weddings and have help organize over 4000 events, including:

    • bachelor/bachelorette parties

    • retreats

    • festivals

    • guided tours & travel

    • fundraisers

    • athletic events

    • conferences (virtual, in-person, hybrid)

    • conventions & more

    🔌 With Guestboard, anyone can turn their event into an engaged community – where attendees begin receiving value the moment they join, NOT just on the day of. With our growing list of event “widgets”, you can pick and choose the tools that match the needs of your event.

    This increased engagement means everyone feels included, fewer no-shows, and all communication/announcements happen in one central place.

    🚗 Here’s our product roadmap, including recently-deployed features and improvements: https://trello.com/b/zwC3dWcc/guestboard-public-roadmap

    We think you’ll find Guestboard easy to use, and we are looking forward to hearing what else Sumolings would find helpful as we move into the “hybrid event” world.

    Myself and the team will be here to answer any questions you may have!

    Happy planning,

    The Guestboard Team
