One weekend. One platform. Three fewer tools.
Showdown signups in Google Forms. Volunteer shifts in GroupMe. Tickets in Eventbrite. Replace all three with one platform built for student orgs that have no budget.
Showdown ticketing
Paid ticketing without the Eventbrite tax
On a $5,000 conference, Eventbrite's up to 10% takes up to $500. Ummah Free is 3% — that's $350 more for next year's Showdown budget.
- Paid ticket tiers (early bird, VIP, student)
- QR check-in at the door
- Shareable URLs (no app required to register)
- Live attendee count and revenue
Vendor + volunteer ops
One roster instead of three spreadsheets
Vendor coordination, volunteer shifts, and attendee lists all live in the same dashboard. Cohorts, halaqas, and committees inherit from the member directory.
- Vendor roster with check-in
- Volunteer shifts tied to member directory
- Committee and cohort grouping
- Real-time sync across the board
