It’s easy to forget that most event platforms weren’t designed for professional networking. They were built for gigs. For festivals. For mass-audience ticketing. And while they’ve been awkwardly adopted by business communities, the fit has always been… off.
The booking system inside UKNetworker changes that. Because it wasn’t bolted on – it was built in. From the ground up, for UK-based networking groups and event organisers. It’s now live. And it does exactly what it needs to do – without the noise, the bloat, or the bullshit.
A system designed for the room
If you run events, you’ve probably dealt with platforms like Eventbrite, Meetup, LinkedIn Events, or Facebook. They’re popular. But they’re not focused. You’re left working around limitations, navigating clunky interfaces, or paying for features that don’t quite suit the professional rhythm of your events.
UKNetworker’s booking system is different. It sits inside a platform that already understands networking: professional profiles, targeted listings, organiser visibility, event services, and a human-first community model. The booking tool isn’t the product – it’s part of the ecosystem.
Straightforward pricing – and no unpleasant surprises
We charge just 2% + £0.75 per ticket. That’s it. Payment processing costs are covered, and there are no platform fees for free events. It’s simple, clean, and predictable – especially compared to the multi-layered percentages and fees charged by Eventbrite.
Everything runs through Stripe. Once set up, your dashboard gives you full control – attendee tracking, payments, refunds, and more. CRM integration is included with no premium tier nonsense. And it’s easy to use, even if you’re not a techie.
Compare the feel – not just the features
Other platforms might offer some of the same tools, but they’re often buried under cluttered menus, broad audiences, and interfaces that feel a decade behind. UKNetworker is streamlined – both for the organiser and the attendee. Finding, booking, and attending feels like it belongs in 2025.
This isn’t just about lower fees or better layout. It’s about fit. A platform that actually understands how networking works – and builds from that.
More than bookings. It’s a full ecosystem.
Event organisers on UKNetworker don’t just list events. They also get:
- A professional organiser profile – searchable and filterable in the Event Organisers Portal
- Visibility in the Featured Events Portal – with advanced search tools for targeted discovery
- Access to the Event Services Portal – to find speakers, AV pros, caterers and more as the platform begins to grow
- Opportunities to be featured in the UKNetworker magazine or video spotlights
- A growing online community space – for real, human connection
As the platform grows, so will the tools – including a bulk upload feature currently in development for organisers with high volumes of listings.
Still in beta – but already making moves
The booking system is now live and fully functional – but this is just the beginning. We’re calling it a soft launch. Early organisers get in completely free, and we’re actively gathering feedback to shape further refinements and enhancements in these early weeks.
That means if you join now, you’re not just using the system – you’re helping shape it.
This is what event platforms should feel like
Built for networking. Aligned with your audience. Priced fairly. Easy to use. Part of something larger than a listing.
If you’re tired of adapting your events to suit someone else’s system – switch. UKNetworker is open for bookings. And it’s just getting started.
The Event Organiser Bundle – now free for early adopters
If you run networking events in the UK, now’s the time to join. List your events, take bookings, build your presence – and shape the future of the platform while you’re at it.
