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.
GatherPress is a free, open source event management plugin designed by the WordPress community for WordPress and its community. Over several years it has grown into a project built by contributors around the world, used by user groups, book clubs, performing groups, and more.
Today, the WordPress Foundation is building its events platform on GatherPress, and that work is moving quickly. Learn how to get involved here..
