Vendie Is Here: The All-in-One Event Commerce OS That Changes Everything
The event industry is a $1.5 trillion global market, yet the tools available to organizers, vendors, and venues have barely evolved. Spreadsheets for vendor management. Separate platforms for ticketing, marketing, and payments. No single place where the entire event ecosystem can connect, transact, and grow together.
That changes today.
We are proud to announce the official launch of Vendie — the first true Event Commerce Operating System. Built from the ground up to serve every participant in the event economy: organizers who plan, vendors who sell, venues that host, sponsors who invest, and attendees who experience.

What Is Vendie?
Vendie is not just another ticketing platform or event management tool. It is a complete commerce ecosystem designed around one core belief: every event is a marketplace, and every marketplace deserves world-class infrastructure.
At its heart, Vendie connects three pillars of the event economy:
For Organizers: Create events, sell tickets with tiered pricing, recruit vendors through our marketplace, book venues, manage permits, build site layouts, run marketing campaigns, and track every dollar — all from a single dashboard.
For Vendors: Build your storefront, get discovered by organizers across the country, manage bookings and applications, accept payments through secure escrow, and grow your reputation with verified reviews.
For Attendees: Discover events in your city, browse vendor lineups before you go, purchase tickets seamlessly, and never miss a moment with our real-time event feeds.

The Features That Set Vendie Apart
Integrated Vendor Marketplace
No more cold-calling vendors or managing applications through email. Vendie's marketplace lets organizers browse verified vendors by category, view portfolios, read reviews, and send booking requests — all with built-in payment escrow that protects both parties.
Smart Ticketing with Tiered Pricing
Create unlimited ticket tiers — General Admission, VIP, Early Bird, Group Packages — with real-time inventory tracking. Attendees see exactly what is available and at what price. Stripe-powered checkout handles the rest.
AI-Powered Event Tools
Our built-in AI suite helps you write event descriptions, generate marketing copy, create social media posts, design flyers, and even draft vendor outreach messages. The AI understands the event industry and produces content that converts.
Flyer Studio
Design professional event flyers directly inside Vendie. Choose from templates, customize colors and layouts, add your branding, and export print-ready files — no design experience required.
Venue Discovery and Booking
Browse venues by capacity, location, amenities, and pricing. View photo galleries, check availability, and submit booking requests with deposit handling built in.
Sponsor Management
Create sponsorship packages with tiered benefits, track sponsor commitments, and give sponsors their own dashboard to monitor their ROI and event exposure.
Content Syndication and Blog Distribution
Write blog posts and syndicate them across multiple channels — Medium, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook — with scheduled distribution and timezone-aware publishing. Track which channels drive the most traffic back to your events.
Real-Time Financial Dashboard
Every transaction flows through Vendie's financial system. Track ticket revenue, vendor booking fees, sponsor payments, and platform commissions in real time. Request payouts to your bank account, PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, or by check.
CRM and Attendee Management
Build relationships with your audience. Track attendee history, segment by behavior, send targeted communications, and turn one-time visitors into loyal community members.
Permit Wizard
Navigate the complex world of event permits with our guided wizard. Select your city, event type, and expected attendance — Vendie generates a checklist of required permits and helps you track the application process.
Layout Builder
Design your event floor plan with our drag-and-drop layout builder. Place vendor booths, stages, food courts, restrooms, and emergency exits. Share the layout with vendors so they know exactly where they will be.

Built for the Hustle
We know event organizers. Many of you are not sitting in corporate offices with enterprise budgets. You are community builders, culture creators, and entrepreneurs who pour your heart into bringing people together. Vendie was built for you.
That is why we offer subscription tiers that scale with your business:
Every tier includes Stripe-powered payments with transparent platform fees. You make money, your vendors make money, and the ecosystem grows together.
