Meet with Tech vs Eventy

Eventy is a speaker-first event platform from the Laravel community, with speaker profiles and conference tooling at its core. Meet with Tech is a UK-focused community platform built around attendees discovering local tech events and organisers running them.

Eventy is a thoughtful product from people we respect in the Laravel community. If speaker profiles or conference workflows are central to what you run, it is the better fit. For UK tech meetups, Meet with Tech is the leaner shape.

Why pick Meet with Tech over Eventy

UK tech discovery by default

Search, recommendations, and city-based discovery are weighted toward UK tech meetups. Attendees see local events first instead of a global feed.

Eventy: global focus, no city-first discovery layer yet

Working organiser dashboard today

Pricing, RSVPs, capacity, waitlists, and attendee management are all live now. You can publish your first event the day you sign up.

Eventy: public pricing not announced, several organiser features still listed as coming soon

Built for the attendee side

Meet with Tech leads with how members find and follow communities. Recurring groups, RSVPs, and follow-the-organiser are first-class.

Eventy: leads with speaker profiles and talk scheduling on the organiser side

Common questions

Should I use Meet with Tech or Eventy for my tech meetup?

If you mainly need RSVPs, attendee management, and UK-based discovery, Meet with Tech is built for that today. If speakers and talks are central to your event format, Eventy's speaker profiles are the differentiator.

Does Meet with Tech have speaker profiles?

Not yet. Today members have a public profile, but there is no dedicated speaker workflow with talk history, slidedecks, or speaking enquiries. Eventy has invested heavily in that area.

Who builds Eventy?

Eventy is built by Dries Vints (Laravel core team) and Rias Van der Veken. Both are well-known contributors in the Laravel community.

Is Eventy free?

Eventy has not announced public pricing at the time of writing. Meet with Tech is free for members and £9/month for organisers, with pricing shown openly.
