Event Hosting Guides
From a 20-person dinner to a 500-person conference: how to list, collect RSVPs, verify guests, run the door and understand what platforms charge. Event Flo is free to list on with no platform fee — guests pay the host directly — so the guides focus on the work, not the bill.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I list my event for free?
Event Flo lists any event — house party, run club, meetup, workshop or ticketed show — free, with no platform fee and no per-ticket charge. The listing guide above compares other free options and what each one takes.
Can I check guests in without an app?
Yes. The QR scanner runs in any smartphone browser, so a co-host or door staff can scan tickets with no install. Each ticket is valid for a single scan.
