EventPro combines venue booking, event planning and catering management in a configurable system for event professionals. Its tools include booking calendars, catering and beverage management, resource and staff management, CRM, attendee management, budgets, invoicing, reporting and floor plans. The EPConnect suite adds online bookings, event registrations, payments and related management tools. Its online payments module integrates with more than 135 payment gateways, including PayPal, Square, Stripe, Authorize.net and QuickBooks. An invoice export module supports accounting software including QuickBooks, MYOB, Sage 50, Microsoft Dynamics GP, SAP, Adept and Pastel. EventPro is available as on-premise software or as a cloud service. The on-premise edition is Windows-based and requires Windows 11 or newer and Microsoft .NET 4.7.2 or newer. EventPro Cloud works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone and Android devices with internet access. A two-way API is available but requires a third-party or custom-developed program. Pricing depends on modules, users, rooms, training and organizational requirements, and is available on request.
