Forumm is the Scottish-built challenger to big corporate event tech.
We believe events should be bold, weird and brilliant, not buried under hidden fees, feature bloat, or faceless dashboards. That’s why we’ve built a platform that makes running events simple, powerful, and impossible to ignore.
What we do:
Straightforward ticketing → Paid tickets? We take 5%. Free events are free. Connect Stripe and get your money instantly.
Embedded webinars → No Zoom or Teams bolt-ons. Registration, streaming, and auto check-in in one place.
Attendee connection (Only on Forumm) → Public opt-in lists let guests see who’s attending and connect before the doors open.
White-label event pages (Only on Forumm) → Showcase all your organisation’s events in a branded hub, not lost in someone else’s marketplace.
Smooth attendee experience → QR check-ins, VIP access, reminders, and guest lists, all built in.
What makes us different:
No gimmicks, no bloat. Just bold tools for brilliant events.
Small-team spark. We ship features in weeks, not years.
Real human support. Optional add-ons (attendee management and event marketing) mean you’re never left to figure it out alone.
Who we work with:
From community organisers and universities to event agencies and investment networks. Anyone who wants to run events that actually land.
We’re Glasgow-built, founder-led, and faster on our feet than the giants. If you’re ready to ditch the corporate hangover, join us.
