Built for Association Meetings and Conferences

Run your association's conference with a staff of one or two.

Association events pay for themselves through registrations and sponsors, and are often run by a very small staff. Shoal puts registration, the agenda, sponsors and check-in in one place at one price per event.

How Shoal Helps

Registration That Pays You Directly

Sell member and non-member ticket types at different prices through your own Stripe account. Money goes straight to you, and Shoal takes no cut. Ask the questions you need, such as membership number or dietary needs.

Members Build Their Own Schedule

Members pick breakout sessions from the event page or their ticket. Seat limits keep rooms from overfilling and time clash checks stop double-booking.

Sponsors Who Feel Seen

Set up sponsor tiers with their own logo sizes and placements on the event page and in the app. Give each booth a secret code in the Game so attendees visit, and sponsors get real foot traffic.

Volunteers at the Door

Give volunteers the Check-in only role. They scan tickets with their phones and search by name, and see nothing else in your account. Print branded badges on standard Avery sheets.

Proof for Next Year

Send a post-event survey automatically, see registrations over time and session fill, and export everything to share with your board.

Questions

Can members and non-members pay different prices?

Yes. Create a ticket type for each, with its own price and optional quantity.

Does Shoal take a share of registration fees?

No. You connect your own Stripe account and pay only Stripe's normal card fees.

Can volunteers help with check-in safely?

Yes. The Check-in only role lets them scan and search for attendees and nothing else.

Also built for Internal Company Conferences and Customer and Partner Events.
