About Janix
Built by organizers who have felt every pain you have.
Janix is an event and audience platform. It runs registration, the program, sponsors and the door for associations, conferences and festivals, and it keeps everyone who came on one audience record your organization owns.
The product
What Janix does.
Janix Event Suite is one platform for running the event and for keeping the audience it produces. Every part shares the same data.
Registration and ticketing
Full-conference and one-day registration, add-ons and single tickets in one cart, with member rates and group registration. Payments run through Stripe Connect into your own Stripe account, so you are the merchant of record.
The program and speakers
Sessions, tracks and rooms, a call for proposals with scoring, and a portal speakers manage themselves. Accepted talks become draft sessions with the speaker already attached, ready for you to place.
Sponsors and exhibitors
A pipeline from first contact to signature, exhibit booths sold through the same checkout as tickets, and a portal where sponsors claim and assign their own badges.
Check-in and badges
QR check-in from any browser, scanning that keeps working when the venue wifi drops, badge printing and a walk-up box office.
The audience record
Every purchase, check-in and campaign response lands on one contact record that belongs to your organization, not to an event. The record carries across every event you run, and it exports as CSV on every plan.
Campaigns and reporting
On Portfolio, segments built from what people did, with the audience count shown before you approve a send. Reporting shows revenue, attendance and what each campaign earned in tickets and dollars.
Why Janix
What makes Janix different.
Disconnected event tools create disconnected audiences. Your second event should know what your first event learned.
One annual licence, and nothing on your ticket sales
Janix charges one annual licence. There is no percentage of ticket sales, no fee for each registrant, no implementation fee, and no cap on registrations or events.
You are the merchant of record
Ticket money moves from the attendee to your own Stripe account. Janix does not hold your funds and does not set your refund policy.
The revenue tools are in the entry plan
The sponsorship pipeline, booth sales and the sponsor portal are in Meeting, the first plan. They are not held back for a bigger one.
The audience stays yours
Contacts belong to your organization and build up across every event. Full export is available on every plan, so leaving is never harder than arriving.

Who's behind this
The team behind Janix.
Our founder, Scott Wilcox, spent 25 years at SXSW, 14 of them as CTO and five as Chief Innovation Officer. He co-founded SXSW Eco. After a decade watching event teams duct-tape Eventbrite to Mailchimp to spreadsheets, he built Janix because the tool he wanted did not exist.
The rest of the team has run operations, technology and marketing at events. We have sent the 4am email to a sponsor, and we have watched the wifi drop at check-in. Every product decision is made by someone who has been on the other side of the door.
