What is the best software for coworking events?

Written by Max Garcia | Jul 24, 2025

 

If you’ve ever planned an event at your coworking space, be it a workshop, panel talk, or community mixer, you know how many pieces need to fall into place: attendee sign‑ups, ticket payments, reminder emails, check‑in logistics, and follow‑up communications.

Software can help, but choosing the right software can turn a potential headache into a smooth, branded, delightful experience.

Here’s what coworking operators should look for when selecting software for events:

  1. Easy attendee registration and ticketing

  2. Seamless payment and invoicing

  3. Branded communications and reminders

  4. Hassle‑free check‑ins

  5. Integration with memberships, calendars, and spaces

  6. Insights to prove ROI and learn from past events

Easy attendee registration and ticketing

Event registration should feel frictionless—from landing on the page to confirming a seat. Look for mobile‑friendly, easy forms, customizable ticket types (free, paid, member, guest), and early‑bird pricing, promo codes, and group discounts

With Coworks, you can drop event forms into build branded registration pages in seconds and offer tiered ticketing. Want 5 early‑bird seats and 20 full‑price? Done. Want member discounts? Set it one time and it auto‑applies. No messy spreadsheets or multiple apps.

Seamless payment and invoicing

Having registrations go through one system means less juggling. A good solution should:

  • Accept credit‑cards and offline payments
  • Auto‑generate invoices and receipts
  • Record payments against member accounts

Coworks has native payment support and customizable invoice templates. If someone registers but doesn’t complete payment, reminders will trigger automatically. 

Plus Coworks quickly integrates with the tools that build email sequences right inside the event flow. Whether it’s a “See you tomorrow” nudge or “Forgot your ticket?” reminder, it’s easy to set up and track. And when something changes, update once and it updates everywhere.

Integration with memberships, calendars, and spaces

If your coworking software runs your memberships and spaces, your events tool should plug in like Lego. That means:

  • Syncing event bookings to space calendars
  • Limiting ticket access based on membership type
    Auto‑adjusting desks/rooms availability

Coworks syncs its event engine with your space inventory. Book a workshop in Room A, and that room (and its desks!) is blocked off automatically. No overbookings, no manual conflicts.

Insights to prove ROI and learn from past events

The best software doesn’t just manage events. It shows their impact. You’ll want reports that tell you event attendance stats and offer revenue/expenses tracking

Coworks offers post‑event reports that show attendance trends, revenue breakdowns, and integrations with to email performance. Plus you can use a platform that collects feedback to understand what worked (and what didn’t). That data feeds directly into your strategy for what events to run next.

Optimize your event strategy with these tactics

Even with great software, event success is about strategy. Here are tips Coworks’ customers love:

  1. Double up with community content
    Invite members to co‑host sessions. Coworks lets you easily add co‑host admins with publishing rights.

  2. Bundle membership perks
    Include free or discounted tickets for higher‑tier members. Coworks automates tier‑based pricing.

  3. Follow up with value
    Post-event, send attendees a link to slides or a recording. Coworks email tools make this seamless.

  4. Measure and iterate
    Lok at what works. Did the majority of registrants actually show? Did members inite guests? Did any leads come from the event?

  5. Promote via community
    Coworks includes social sharing buttons on event pages—members do the repeat outreach for you.

  3. Import your current membership roster
    Avoid manual setup. Coworks supports CSV import so your members are ready to go.

  4. Create your first event
    Choose a template, assign a space, set ticket tiers, and publish. You’re live in minutes—not days.

  5. Run and refine
    Host the event. After, track attendance and feedback and compare to your goals. Adjust your next event based on insights.

  6. Build a repeatable event program
    As you host more events, your data tells you what works—who shows up, what people like, what sells. That informs your 6‑month event calendar.

Great coworking events bring members and the community together. They turn spaces into ecosystems of learning, connection, and opportunity. But the magic doesn’t happen on the day itself. It lies in a smooth, intentional experience leading up to, during, and after the event.

That’s what event software should support, not silo with disjointed tools. With Coworks, you get event registration, ticketing, payments, communications, check‑in, space sync, and reporting all under one platform and all built for coworking.

If you run workshops, panel talks, socials, community mixers, or networking nights, Coworks helps you do it faster, better, and with less stress. You’ll reclaim hours you spent on admin, deliver better experiences, and grow stickier communities.
