Are you an event organiser looking for a smarter way to manage bookings, payments, and attendee data? Or perhaps you’re an active networker eager to discover high-quality business events tailored just for you? Either way, we have some exciting news: UKNetworker’s brand-new event booking system is under development and will be available very soon!
Built specifically for the UK’s business networking community, our platform is designed to streamline event management, boost attendance, and grow your professional network—all at a fraction of the cost of other services. Here’s everything you need to know about this game-changing feature and how it will benefit both event organisers and active networkers.
Why Choose UKNetworker for Your Event Bookings?
At UKNetworker, we understand the pain points of traditional event platforms like Eventbrite, Meetup, and even social media tools like LinkedIn Events or Facebook Events—confusing pricing structures, hidden fees, clunky interfaces, and limited audience targeting. That’s why we’ve created a solution that’s simple, affordable, and tailored to the needs of professionals like you.
Key Benefits for Event Organisers
- Predictable Pricing: Unlike platforms like Eventbrite, which charge per-ticket fees (which can amount to 10–12%) plus processing fees*, UKNetworker offers a flat fee (that covers much more than just listing events) of just £20/month, and also a saving for you of up to 57% on fees compared to Eventbrite. UKNetworker charges just 2% + £0.75 per ticket, and we cover all payment processing costs. No hidden costs, no headaches—just transparency.
- Unlimited Event Listings: Whether you’re hosting one event or multiple, there’s no limit to how many events you can list—or how many attendees you can invite. Compare this to Meetup, which charges between £7.72 and £11.12* per month depending on your subscription level, with additional limitations on features.
- Targeted Audience: While platforms like Facebook Events cater to a broad audience and Meetup focuses on casual meetups, UKNetworker connects you with a community of professionals actively seeking networking opportunities. This means higher-quality leads, better engagement, and successful events.
- Easy Attendee Management: All bookings, payments, and attendee data are managed directly through Stripe, giving you full control over your event operations. Unlike Eventbrite, where CRM integration is a premium feature (with extra costs), UKNetworker includes this functionality at no extra charge.
- Superior User Experience: Navigating platforms like Eventbrite can feel frustrating due to confusing pricing, clunky navigation, and outdated interfaces. In contrast, UKNetworker offers an intuitive, simple design that makes listing, promoting, and managing events a breeze.
Key Benefits for Active Networkers
- Access to High-Quality Events: Discover and book events tailored specifically to your professional interests using our Featured Events Portal, complete with advanced search and filtering tools. Platforms like LinkedIn Events and Facebook Events lack dedicated directories, making it harder to find relevant opportunities.
- Transparent Pricing: With UKNetworker, you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying upfront—no hidden fees or confusing charges. Compare this to Eventbrite, where processing fees and per-ticket costs can add up quickly.
- A Growing Community: Beyond events, UKNetworker offers an online community space where members can connect and collaborate. While activity is still growing, this feature provides a foundation for meaningful interactions as the platform expands.
What Sets UKNetworker Apart?
Our platform isn’t just another event listing service—it’s a comprehensive ecosystem designed to help you grow your business network and elevate your events. Here’s what makes us unique:
- Featured Events Portal: A directory with advanced search and filtering tools ensures your events reach a highly targeted audience—something you won’t find on Eventbrite, LinkedIn Events, or Facebook Events.
- Event Services Portal: Connect with guest speakers, caterers, audio/visual professionals, and more to enhance your events. As the platform grows, so will the range of services available.
- Professional Profile Pages: Showcase your networking group or organisation in the Event Organisers Portal, complete with advanced filtering tools to help potential attendees discover you.
- Online Community Space: Engage with other members in a social media-style environment designed for collaboration and idea-sharing—a feature lacking on most competing platforms.
- Magazine Features: Submit articles or content to The UK Networker, our online magazine section, for additional promotion.
Stay Tuned for More Exciting Updates!
We’re also working on future features like bulk event uploads, making it even easier for organisers to list and manage large volumes of events efficiently.
With UKNetworker’s upcoming booking system, you’ll have everything you need to succeed—all in one place, all at a predictable price. Whether you’re an event organiser or an active networker, this is your chance to join a growing community and take your events to the next level.
Stay tuned for the official launch—and get ready to experience the future of event booking with UKNetworker!
