EventWax is a web-based service for organizing events. Through the web site, event organizers can publish an event site, accept payments, and manage the event attendees’ registration.

The initial system was built as a way for a company to organize and manage a conference. The EventWax system is simple to use and can be customized and hosted on your own web site or through EventWax. It was originally developed earlier this year as a way for Vivabit to manage their @media 2006 conference. Based on their experience running @media in 2005, they knew exactly what they were needing.

They describe on their website, “The initial method of keeping track of delegates with a rudimentary spreadsheet, manual invoicing, and notes scribbled all over the place, simply wasn’t going to cut the mustard.” They have since developed, refined and improved their prototype application and found it to be a success at this years @media conference with 800 delegates, as noted by Dan Webb of Vivabit on his personal blog.
You can accept payments though PayPal and quickly search the attendee details. All data that the systems captures can be exported as a spreadsheet or XML for easy archiving or referencing. If you organize events, or are thinking about organizing events, try this tool out–you’ll love its simplicity, and power.
