The panel's verdict
Accelevents is an event registration and ticketing platform, strongest on the ground: check-in and on-site scores run 8-9 on iPad self-service kiosks, QR and RFID scanning and name lookup that works when the internet drops, walk-in ticket purchase, drag-and-drop badges and an on-site kit recommended for events under 1,000 attendees. Scores for shop and registration follow at 6-7 with paid and free types, member and early-bird tiers, discount codes, capacity limits and assigned seating. Payments and fees sits at 6: the organiser connects a live Stripe, Square, Braintree or Authorize.net account, and published fees run "$1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan" and "2.9% of Ticket Price + 30 cents", but we found no public information on payout timing, partial refunds or chargebacks. Sovereignty is weakest at 3-4; the split reflects judges weighing European requirements, with hosting region, the contracting entity's jurisdiction and a published data processing agreement unknown, though Amazon Web Services, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 are named. Attendee data ownership follows at 4-5, the GDPR page naming the platform as processor and controller.
Speaks for it
- Check-in and on-site scores at 8-9 for offline-capable QR and RFID scanning, attendee lookup by name, email or organization, and iPad self-service kiosks with walk-in ticket purchase
- Drag-and-drop badge designer plus a rentable on-site kit with iPads, printers, badge stock and an internet router, recommended for events under 1,000 attendees
- Ticket shop with paid and free types, member versus non-member and early-bird tiers, discount and access codes, bundle and group tickets, capacity limits that pause sales automatically and assigned seating
- VAT configurable per ticket type, shown on a customizable PDF invoice attached to the confirmation email carrying the organiser's address and VAT plus the buyer's organization and VAT ID
- Registration, attendance and lead-capture data syncs automatically to Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo over a documented API
Held against it
- Sovereignty scores 3-4: hosting region, the contracting entity's jurisdiction and a published data processing agreement are unknown, with infrastructure named as Amazon Web Services
- We found no public information on payout timing, chargeback handling, partial refunds or refunds when a whole event is cancelled
- The GDPR page acknowledges the platform as data processor and data controller; the organiser is not named as controller
- Invoicing and tax scores 4-5; we found no public information on consecutive invoice numbering, credit notes after a refund, e-invoice formats such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, or an export to a named accounting system, and the named sync targets are CRMs
- Badge printing is manual via a Print Badge button, the on-site kit prints in black and white only, and recurring events cannot be sold or checked in through the admin app
Best for
- You run in-person conferences, seminars or door-driven events of up to 1,000 attendees and need offline scanning, self-service kiosks, walk-in sales and badge printing at the door
- Your sessions award continuing-education credits — session attendance is tracked in real time and described as suited to handing out CE credits
- You want payments through your own live Stripe, Square, Braintree or Authorize.net account, choosing to pass fees to buyers or absorb them
- You price by member versus non-member status and early-bird tiers, with discount and access codes, approval review or assigned seating per ticket type
Avoid if
- Your compliance review requires a stated hosting region, an EU contracting entity or a published data processing agreement — the captured pages name Amazon Web Services infrastructure but show none of these
- You must be named the data controller under a data processing agreement; the GDPR page acknowledges only the platform's own responsibilities as processor and controller
- Your finance team needs credit notes, e-invoice formats or a direct accounting export — invoices are PDFs attached to the confirmation email and the documented sync targets are CRMs rather than ledgers
- You run recurring events and expect to sell or check in through the admin app — the help pages state recurring events do not work with it

Ticket shop, checkout & registration
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How a ticket or a registration is sold: ticket types and categories, member and early-bird prices, discount codes, bundles and add-ons, a shop embeddable on the organiser's own website or under its own domain, custom questions per ticket and per attendee, group and company bookings, capacity limits and waiting lists, reserved seating with a seating plan, recurring dates and course series, several languages, and an accessible mobile checkout.
0 — Not a ticketing or registration tool; tickets cannot be sold and registrations cannot be taken in the product.
3 — An event page on the platform with a few ticket types and a fixed sign-up form; embedding, custom questions, capacity rules or seating are basic or not described.
5 — Several ticket types with prices, quotas and sale periods, discount codes, custom questions per attendee, a shop embeddable on the organiser's website as a widget or link, capacity limits with a waiting list, and a checkout that works on a phone.
8 — A white-label shop under the organiser's own domain and design, reserved seating with a seating-plan editor, add-ons and bundles, group and company bookings with several attendees per order, conditional questions, member prices by code or login, recurring dates and course series, several languages, and the checkout's accessibility stated.
10 — A shop that fits any event: multi-event and season tickets, timed entry and seat holds, a checkout that the organiser can extend (API, custom fields synced to a CRM), an accessibility conformance statement (WCAG level named), and the conversion and drop-off of the checkout reported to the organiser.
The Conference Organiser
Member versus non-member pricing, early-bird tiers, discount and access codes, capacity limits and individual or bundle/group tickets are all documented, and attendees can pick a seat during registration. White labeling appears only as a navigation label with no description of running the shop under our own domain, and we found no public information on waiting lists, sale periods, several languages or an accessible mobile checkout. 1 2 3 4
The Venue Promoter
The help pages show paid and free ticket types with member versus non-member pricing, early-bird and tier pricing via ticket types and discount codes, bundle and group tickets, add-ons, seat selection during registration, conditional ticket display, custom order-form fields, approval review, and capacity limits that pause sales automatically — plus white labeling on the security page. Recurring events exist but the help pages state they do not work with the admin app. I found no public information on a waiting list, several checkout languages, or an accessibility statement for the checkout. 1 2 3 4 8
The Course Provider
The ticket set-up guide documents paid and free ticket types with quotas, early-bird and member tiers, discount and access codes, bundle and group tickets, conditional ticket display, seat selection and an approval step before registration — close to what my courses need. We found no public information on a waiting list that refills a cancelled seat, on embedding the shop in my own website, or on checkout languages and accessibility, and recurring events are stated not to work with the admin app. 3 4 1 10
The Revenue Accountant
Paid and free ticket types with member versus non-member and early-bird tiers, discount and access codes, bundle and group tickets, conditional ticket display logic, approval review, capacity limits that show tickets as sold out, deposit-based pay later and assigned seating are all documented. White labelling is named as available but without domain-level detail, and we found no public information on a seating-plan editor, waiting lists, checkout languages or an accessibility statement for the checkout. 1 3 4 9 10
The Data Protection Officer
Paid and free ticket types with member versus non-member and early-bird tiers via separate ticket types, discount and access codes, bundle and group tickets, conditional ticket display logic, approval review per ticket type, capacity limits that pause sales automatically and assigned seating are all documented, and white labelling is offered. We found no public information on embedding the shop in the organiser's own website, waiting lists, several checkout languages, or checkout accessibility. The support pages also state that recurring events cannot be sold or checked in through the admin app. 1 2 3 4
The Skeptic
Ticket machinery is deep: paid and free types, member versus non-member pricing and early-bird tiers via separate ticket types, discount and access codes, bundles, per-event capacity that pauses sales automatically, seat selection during registration, ticket display logic reacting to the buyer's choices, and white labeling listed. We found no public information on waiting lists, a shop embeddable on the organiser's own website, several languages, or accessibility of the checkout. 3 4 1 2
Payments, payouts, fees & refunds
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the money moves: payment methods offered to buyers (cards, PayPal, SEPA direct debit, invoice, local methods), whether the organiser connects its own payment account or the platform collects as merchant of record, when the revenue is paid out (continuously, before the event, or after it), the per-ticket and payment fees and whether they can be passed on to the buyer, refunds of single tickets and of a cancelled event, ticket transfer and resale, and chargebacks.
0 — No payment of any kind; the product only collects free registrations.
3 — Online card payment through the platform; payout timing, fee model, refunds or buyer-paid fees are basic or not described.
5 — Several payment methods including cards and PayPal or SEPA, the fee per ticket stated with the option to pass it to the buyer, the payout schedule stated, and refunds of single orders and of a cancelled event issued from the product.
8 — A choice between the organiser's own payment account (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie or similar) and platform collection, payouts before the event stated with their conditions, invoice and bank transfer for business buyers, partial refunds and refund policies set per event, ticket transfer or resale by buyers, and chargeback handling explained.
10 — Full control of the money: the merchant of record named for each set-up, payout timing and any reserve held published, every fee itemised per order, refunds, transfers and resale with the organiser's rules enforced, and the cancellation process for an event documented end to end.
The Conference Organiser
We connect our own Stripe, Square or Braintree account, bank transfer and pay-later are supported, attendees can cancel an order for a refund, and the platform fee is published with a pass-or-absorb choice. Payout timing, chargeback handling and partial refunds are not described, and the captured pages name only those card gateways plus Authorize.net rather than PayPal or SEPA. 3 5 6
The Venue Promoter
Paid ticketing runs through a live Stripe, Square or Braintree account the organiser connects themselves, with bank transfer payments and pay-later deposits documented, buyer-side order cancellation with refunds for paid tickets, and ticket transfer to another attendee. The credit card processing fee can be added on top of the ticket price or absorbed, and the pages state the platform does not take a percentage of the card fees. I found no public information on payout timing — when the ticket money actually reaches me, which matters because I pay the guarantee before the doors open — nor on chargeback handling, partial refunds, or platform collection. 3 5 6
The Course Provider
I would connect my own Stripe, Square, Braintree or Authorize.net account, offer bank transfer and pay-later or deposit registration, and choose to pass fees to buyers or absorb them, with single-order cancellation by buyers and ticket transfer documented. We found no public information on payout timing, partial refunds, refund policies per event, refunds of a fully cancelled event, or chargeback handling. 6 3 5 7
The Revenue Accountant
The organiser connects a live Stripe, Square, Braintree or Authorize.net account of their own, bank transfer is supported, the per-ticket platform fee and the card processing fee are published, and fees can be passed to the buyer or absorbed; ticket transfer and attendee-initiated cancellation with refunds for paid tickets are documented. We found no public information on payout timing, partial refunds, chargeback handling, or the refund process for a fully cancelled event, which is what I would need before trusting the money flow. 3 5 6 7
The Data Protection Officer
The organiser connects a live account of their own — Stripe, Square, Braintree or Authorize.net — and the public pages state a platform fee example of "$1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan" and a credit card processing fee of "2.9% of Ticket Price + 30 cents", which the organiser can pass to the buyer or absorb. Bank transfer, pay-later with deposits, buyer-initiated cancellation with refunds for paid tickets, and ticket transfer are documented. We found no public information on payout timing, chargeback handling, partial refunds, or refunds when a whole event is cancelled. 3 5 6 7
The Skeptic
The organiser connects their own live Stripe, Square, Braintree or Authorize.net account, card fees run 2.9% of Ticket Price + 30 cents, the platform fee is stated as $1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan with a pass-to-buyer or absorb choice, and bank transfer, pay-later deposits, cancellation refunds, ticket transfer and exchanges are documented. We found no public information on payout timing, partial refunds, refund policies per event, or chargebacks. 3 5 6 7
VAT, invoices & accounting handoff
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How ticket revenue reaches the books correctly: the VAT rate set per ticket or product (reduced rates for concerts and culture, exemptions for education and seminars), gross and net prices shown, invoices to buyers in the organiser's name with consecutive numbers, business buyers with company name and VAT ID, reverse charge for cross-border events, cancellation invoices and credit notes, the platform's own fee invoice, e-invoicing, and exports to DATEV or named accounting systems.
0 — No receipts or invoices; the organiser has to produce every invoice outside the product.
3 — An order confirmation or simple receipt per booking; VAT rates, invoices in the organiser's name, business buyers or accounting exports are basic or not described.
5 — VAT rate configurable per ticket, invoices generated in the organiser's name with its tax details and consecutive numbers, company name and address captured for business buyers, cancellation invoices on refund, and a sales export as CSV or to at least one named accounting system.
8 — Several VAT rates in one order, net prices for business buyers, VAT IDs validated and reverse charge applied, e-invoices (XRechnung or ZUGFeRD) for public and business buyers, a DATEV export with booking data, the platform's fee invoice separated from ticket revenue, and whether the platform sells as agent or in its own name stated.
10 — Tax handled per country: VAT rules for events in several EU countries documented with the place of supply, invoices and credit notes stated as compliant with national invoice law, a reconciliation of payouts, fees and ticket revenue per event, and a GoBD-compliant archive or audit export.
The Conference Organiser
VAT can be assigned per ticket type, the buyer's organisation and VAT ID are captured and shown on a customizable PDF invoice that also carries our organiser address, our VAT details and add-ons. We found no public information on consecutive invoice numbering, credit notes when an order is refunded, reverse charge for cross-border buyers, or an export to DATEV or another accounting system. 3 7 8
The Venue Promoter
VAT is supported with a configurable rate, even a different rate per ticket type, buyer organization and VAT ID fields captured at checkout and shown on the invoice, the organizer's address and VAT number on the invoice, and a PDF invoice attached to the confirmation email with customizable design and merge tags. I found no public information on consecutive invoice numbering, credit notes after a refund, e-invoicing formats, reverse charge, or an export to a named accounting system such as DATEV. 3 7 8
The Course Provider
VAT can be assigned per ticket type with custom rates, the invoice shows my organiser address and VAT number plus the buyer's organisation and VAT ID, and the PDF invoice is attached to the confirmation email — that covers invoicing employers in my own name. We found no public information on consecutive invoice numbers, reverse charge, e-invoices such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, credit notes after a refund, or exports to DATEV or another accounting system, and VAT can only be configured before any ticket sale. 7 8 5 3
The Revenue Accountant
VAT can be configured with a custom rate per ticket type, the organiser's address and VAT number appear on the invoice, and business buyers are captured with Organisation and VAT ID fields, so the basic invoice machinery exists. We found no public information on consecutive invoice numbers, credit notes when a ticket is refunded, e-invoicing formats, or an export to DATEV or any named accounting system — the named integrations are CRMs rather than ledgers, though the downloadable registration report does carry a fees column. 3 5 7 8
The Data Protection Officer
VAT is configurable with name, number, country and rate, including a custom rate per ticket type, and it shows during registration, in the confirmation email and on the invoice; invoices are generated as PDFs carrying the organiser's address and VAT plus the buyer's organization name, VAT ID and billing address, and a downloadable registration report includes a fees column. We found no public information on consecutive invoice numbering, credit notes for cancellations, e-invoice formats such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, reverse charge, or an export to a named accounting system. 5 7 8
The Skeptic
VAT is configurable with different rates per ticket type, buyer organization, VAT ID and billing address are captured and appear on invoices that carry the organiser's address and tax details as a PDF attached to the confirmation email. We found no public information on consecutive invoice numbering, cancellation invoices or credit notes, reverse charge, e-invoices, or exports to any accounting system — the named sync targets are CRMs, not books. 7 8 1
Check-in, badges & on-site sales
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What happens at the door: a check-in app that scans tickets on phones or scanners, offline scanning and several devices at once, entrances and time slots, check-in lists by name, badge printing with attendee data and QR code, box office and on-site sales with card terminals, walk-in registration, session and room check-in at conferences, attendance certificates, and live attendance figures.
0 — No check-in; tickets cannot be validated at the event.
3 — Tickets with a QR code and a guest list to tick off by hand or in a simple app; offline use, several devices, badges or on-site sales are basic or not described.
5 — A free check-in app for iOS and Android that scans tickets on several devices at once, works offline and syncs, a searchable guest list, and live check-in numbers in the dashboard.
8 — Badge printing with attendee data and QR codes, access rules per entrance, session or day, box office sales on site with a named card terminal, walk-in registration, dedicated scanner hardware supported or rented, and attendance certificates for courses.
10 — On-site operations at scale: self-service kiosks or turnstile integration, session check-in feeding continuing-education credits, cashless or on-site payments reconciled with online sales, and the hardware, offline limits and failover documented.
The Conference Organiser
Self-service iPad kiosks behind a PIN, staff-assisted scanning by QR, RFID or company lookup that keeps working when the internet drops, walk-in registration with instant sync, drag-and-drop badge printing and a documented onsite kit for events under 1,000 attendees cover everything at my door. Session attendance is tracked in real time and described as "perfect for managing capacity and handing out CE credits", which is precisely our continuing-education requirement; on-site sales reconciled against online sales is not described. 3 9 10
The Venue Promoter
This is what I need at the door: iOS and Android admin apps with staff-assisted check-in, QR scanning, RFID and lookup by name, email or company — and the page says it keeps working 'even when the internet drops', which is exactly my basement. Self-service iPad kiosks with walk-in ticket purchase, a drag-and-drop badge designer, an onsite kit with iPads, printers, badge stock and a router for events under 1,000 attendees, real-time registration and check-in tracking, and session attendance for CE credits are all documented. Two honest limitations: badge printing is manual via a Print Badge button, and the onsite kit prints in black and white only. 3 9 10
The Course Provider
Check-in runs on iPads as self-service kiosks or staff-assisted scanning of QR codes and RFID with offline use, walk-ins register and print badges instantly, session attendance is tracked live and described as suited to handing out CE credits, and an onsite kit with iPads, printers, badge stock and a router is documented with its black-and-white limit. Badge printing is triggered by a manual button rather than automatically, and we found no public information on cashless on-site payments reconciled with online sales. 9 10 3
The Revenue Accountant
Self-service iPad kiosks, staff-assisted check-in by QR code, RFID or name lookup that keeps working when the internet drops, badge printing with a drag-and-drop designer, walk-in registration and walk-in ticket purchase, an onsite kit with iPads, printers and badge stock, and session attendance tracking that supports CE credits are all documented. The kit is stated for events under 1,000 attendees printing in black and white only, and badge printing is manual via a Print Badge button rather than automatic on check-in. 3 9 10
The Data Protection Officer
An iOS and Android admin app scans QR codes and RFID and looks attendees up by name, email or organization, working even offline; iPads serve as self-service kiosks with badge printing and walk-in ticket purchase, badges are built with a drag-and-drop designer, and an on-site kit with iPads, printers, badge stock and an internet router is offered for events under 1,000 attendees. Session attendance is tracked in real time and feeds CE credits, with live registration and check-in figures. We found no public information on a named card terminal for box-office sales or on documented offline limits and failover. 3 9 10
The Skeptic
An admin app for iOS and Android scans QR codes or RFID and searches by name, email or organization even when the internet drops, iPads run PIN-locked self-service kiosks that print badges and sell to walk-ins, a drag-and-drop badge designer feeds colour or high-speed printers from a rentable onsite kit, and session attendance feeds CE credits in real time. Badge printing is a manual button press per attendee rather than automatic, and we found no public information on turnstile integration or documented offline limits and failover. 9 10 3
Attendee data & the customer relationship
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the ticket buyer belongs to: whether the organiser is the controller of attendee data and the platform its processor, or the platform a controller in its own right; whether buyers must create an account on the platform; whether the platform markets other events to the organiser's buyers or lists the event on its own marketplace; consent for the organiser's newsletter collected in the checkout; messages to attendees; attendee data exportable at any time; and deletion and anonymisation after the event.
0 — The organiser receives no attendee data at all; the platform keeps the buyer relationship entirely.
3 — A guest list visible to the organiser; who is controller, the platform's own marketing to buyers, export or deletion are basic or not described.
5 — Attendee data exportable by the organiser at any time, the organiser named as controller with a data processing agreement offered, buyers able to book without a platform account, newsletter consent for the organiser collectable in the checkout, and messages to attendees from the product.
8 — A white-label set-up in which buyers see only the organiser, the platform stated not to market other events to the organiser's buyers (or the opt-out explained), the platform's marketplace listing optional, deletion and anonymisation of attendee data after the event configurable, and attendee data synced to a named CRM or via API and webhooks.
10 — The organiser owns the relationship and can prove it: the controller and processor roles documented for every data flow, no platform account or platform marketing by default, retention set per event and enforced, and a complete export of orders, attendees and answers that a successor tool can import.
The Conference Organiser
Registration and check-in data syncs automatically to Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo and via a documented API, attendees can be messaged through custom confirmations and push notifications, and a sub-processor list is published. The GDPR page acknowledges both processor and controller responsibilities without stating that we, the organiser, are the controller, and we found no public information on a data processing agreement, on booking without an Accelevents account, or on deletion and retention after the congress. 1 2 9 11
The Venue Promoter
The help pages show buyers logging in to 'their Accelevents account' to reach My Registrations, the company acknowledges its responsibilities as processor and controller under GDPR and publishes a sub-processor list, and attendee, registration and check-in data sync automatically to Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo. I found no public information on exporting the full buyer list at any time, deletion or anonymisation after the event, newsletter consent in the checkout, or the platform's own marketing to my buyers — and a list of last month's buyers the club can mail is half the reason I sell tickets in advance. 1 2 8 9 11
The Course Provider
The GDPR page acknowledges the company's responsibilities as data processor and data controller, a sub-processor list is published, and registration data syncs automatically to named CRMs over a documented API, with confirmation emails and push notifications to attendees. Buyers log in to an Accelevents account for self-service, and we found no public information on booking without a platform account, on newsletter consent collected in the checkout, or on deletion and anonymisation of attendee data after an event. 11 2 1 8 9
The Revenue Accountant
The vendor acknowledges its responsibilities as data processor and controller under GDPR, publishes a sub-processor list, and registration, attendance and lead-capture data sync automatically to Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo. We found no public information on a data processing agreement being offered, on booking without a platform account (the invoice help page assumes buyers log in to an Accelevents account), on newsletter consent at checkout, or on deletion, anonymisation and retention of attendee data after the event. 1 8 11 12
The Data Protection Officer
Registration data is downloadable as a report, attendees receive confirmation and welcome messages, and data syncs to Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo over a documented API — but the captured GDPR page only has the platform acknowledging its own responsibilities as "a data processor and data controller", with the organiser never named as controller. We found no public information on a data processing agreement, retention or deletion of attendee data after the event, or whether the platform markets other events to the organiser's buyers. Buyers do get an Accelevents account for self-service invoices and cancellations, though whether booking requires one is not shown. 1 5 8 9 11
The Skeptic
Attendees log in to their Accelevents account and a unique email is required to access the event, and the vendor acknowledges responsibilities as both data processor and data controller in one sentence, leaving who owns the buyer cloudy. Registration, attendance and lead data sync automatically to Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo over a documented API with webhooks, but we found no public information on deletion and anonymisation after the event, a complete export for a successor tool, or whether the platform markets other events to the organiser's buyers. 11 8 1 3 12
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where attendee, order and payment data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, payment providers, email delivery, analytics, support). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; attendee lists show who goes where and when, and a conference list holds names, employers and dietary or accessibility answers, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (payments, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, a self-hosted or on-premises option or data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Conference Organiser
The application infrastructure is named as Amazon Web Services, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications are stated, and a sub-processor list is published. But the hosting region is not stated, the contracting entity's jurisdiction is unknown, and no data processing agreement is published on the captured pages — for a European association's attendee list with employers and dietary answers, that does not place the chain in Europe. 1 2 11
The Venue Promoter
Application infrastructure is provided by Amazon Web Services with the region unstated, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications are stated, and a sub-processor list is published. I found no public information on the contracting entity's jurisdiction, on EU data residency, or on a published data processing agreement. For a European club, nothing on these captured pages evidences a European entity or European hosting. 1 2 11 12
The Course Provider
The infrastructure is named as Amazon Web Services across multiple data centres, the company states ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type 2, and a sub-processor list is published. The hosting country, the contracting entity's jurisdiction and a published data processing agreement are not confirmed on the captured pages, so I cannot verify from public information where my attendees' names and answers are stored. 2 1 11
The Revenue Accountant
Amazon Web Services is named as the infrastructure provider across multiple data centres, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certification are stated, and a sub-processor list is published — that is more of the chain visible than usual. We found no public information on the hosting region, the contracting entity's jurisdiction, a data processing agreement, or the sub-processors' locations, so we cannot confirm a European dimension anywhere in the chain. 1 2 12
The Data Protection Officer
The captured pages name Amazon Web Services across multiple data centres as the infrastructure, point to a published sub-processor list, and state ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type 2. We found no public information on the contracting entity's jurisdiction, the hosting region, a published data processing agreement, or the countries of the sub-processors. The GDPR claim rests on an audit by a U.K. security firm, with the documentation available only on request to an account manager or a privacy mailbox. 1 2 11 12
The Skeptic
Infrastructure is Amazon Web Services across multiple data centers with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 stated, a sub-processor list is published, and a UK partner audited GDPR compliance — but we found no public information on where the data is hosted, the contracting entity's jurisdiction, or the locations of the sub-processors. Every sovereignty attribute we checked came back unknown, so the chain from attendee list to email delivery cannot be judged European or otherwise from these pages. 2 11 12 1
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether an organiser can compute the real cost of an event from public pages alone: the fee per ticket or per registration (fixed, percentage or both), payment processing fees, whether fees are charged to the organiser or added to the buyer's price, free events, subscriptions or credit packs, payout and refund fees, add-ons (seating, white label, badges, box office), hardware rental, minimums and term, and VAT on the fees.
0 — No public prices at all; every organiser is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or "free for free events" exists, but the fee for paid tickets, payment fees or who pays them is unclear.
5 — The fee per ticket and the payment processing fees are public with the main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (refund fees, white label, seating, box office, hardware) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every fee published with its rule (per ticket, percentage, cap), the share paid by buyer and organiser stated, add-ons and hardware priced, payout and refund fees listed, and VAT treatment of the fees stated.
10 — Complete price computability: the cost of an event derivable for a given ticket price, ticket count and payment mix, with every add-on, hardware, support and payout fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Conference Organiser
The ticketing fee rule is published as a base cost per ticket plus a percentage, "such as $1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan", card processing is stated as 2.9% of Ticket Price + 30 cents, and the organiser can pass fees to buyers or absorb them. Subscription plan prices, the onsite kit, refund and payout fees carry no prices on the captured pages, so I could not compute the full cost of a 900-person congress from public information alone. 1 5 7 9
The Venue Promoter
The fee rule is public: a base cost per ticket plus a percentage of the sale, quoted as 'such as $1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan', a credit card processing fee of 2.9% of Ticket Price + 30 cents, a documented choice to pass fees to the buyer or absorb them, and a note that contracts may state additional ticketing fees; a free trial exists. I found no public information on plan prices, refund or payout fees, onsite kit rental, or pricing for white-label, seating or box-office add-ons, so I cannot compute the full cost of a month of shows. 1 5 7
The Course Provider
The platform fee is stated as a base cost per ticket plus a percentage, "such as $1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan", with a card fee of "2.9% of Ticket Price + 30 cents" that I can pass to buyers or absorb, plus a Fees column in the registration report. We found no public information on plan prices beyond the free example, onsite kit and hardware costs, white-label pricing, refund or payout fees, or the VAT treatment of the platform's fees, and contract-specific additional ticketing fees are mentioned without amounts. 5 7 9 1
The Revenue Accountant
The platform fee is published as a per-ticket base plus a percentage, quoted as $1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan, card processing is 2.9% of the ticket price plus 30 cents with a $0.30 fixed fee for Stripe/Square, Accelevents states it takes no percentage of the card fees, and the organiser can pass fees to buyers or absorb them. We found no public information on subscription prices for the paid plans, refund or payout fees, or the price of the onsite kit and white labelling, so the full cost of a paid event cannot be computed from these pages alone. 1 5 7 9
The Data Protection Officer
The per-ticket platform fee is public with an example — "$1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan" — alongside the card fee of "2.9% of Ticket Price + 30 cents", with the organiser choosing to pass fees to buyers or absorb them; the same page notes that contracts may state additional ticketing fees. We found no public information on subscription plan prices, refund or payout fees, VAT treatment of the platform's own fees, or the price of add-ons such as white label, badge printing or the on-site kit. 3 5 7
The Skeptic
The core numbers are public: a platform fee of $1.50 per person plus 3.5% under the Free Plan, card processing at 2.9% of Ticket Price + 30 cents, the choice to pass fees to the buyer or absorb them, and the statement that Accelevents do not take a percentage of the credit card fees. But the fee structure is described for mostly lower plans only, contracts may state additional ticketing fees, and we found no public pricing for the onsite kit, white label, badges, refund fees or payout fees. 5 7 1

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 3 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting location. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
