Build Events, Together
Open-source tools for events that bring people together.
Built by and for community.
Overview of GatherPress
Community is vital to any open source ecosystem. It jumpstarts projects and careers, keeps us encouraged, and helps us move forward together. GatherPress started with the idea that the platform we use to gather should be open too.
