Spending too much time organizing and setting up your event? Want a professional event page but are afraid it will take weeks? Zoho Backstage is an end-to-end event management platform that allows you to set up an event page, sell commission-free tickets, manage schedules and collect full analytics — all from one interface. In this guide we will explain the main features and when you should try it.
Creating a professional event page easily
Zoho Backstage includes two critical tools for creating a digital presence for your event:
- Dynamic website builder: build personalized event pages in several languages, using pre-prepared templates and incorporating your brand — without the need for a developer. The page has a built-in secure domain.
- Schedule Planner (Agenda): Present participants with a clear visual image of each session and speaker. Participants can plan their personal agenda directly through the mobile app.
Ticket sales — zero commissions
One of the most prominent advantages of Zoho Backstage is selling tickets directly through the platform without any commission. Unlike Eventbrite which charges 3.7%-6.5% on each ticket, Zoho Backstage allows you to set pricing, manage refunds and process payments — and keeps all the revenue with you. For paid events with hundreds of participants, this savings is significant.
End-to-end event management — all the tools in one place
Zoho Backstage covers all stages of the event lifecycle:
- Event website: Professional landing page with built-in registration.
- Ticket sales and refunds: independent management at 0% commission.
- Integration with Zoho's social networks and campaign systems: spreading the event directly from the platform.
- Personalized schedules: including multiple sessions, speakers and parallel tracks.
- Surveys and feedback: collect feedback from participants during and after the event.
- In-depth analytics: engagement by session, attendee data and feedback results.
Event community and real-time management
During the event, Zoho Backstage allows the host to create an active event community that gives everyone real-time updates through the mobile app and through discussion boards. This is critical for moments of crisis — a sudden change in the session, a speaker canceling, a change of room — one update reaches all participants immediately, without confusion. Your team gets the tools to manage changes in real time without losing control of the participant experience.
Post-event analytics — data that serves the next event
After the event is over, Zoho Backstage provides analytical dashboards that cover three key topics:
- Participants: how many registered, how many arrived and according to which channels they arrived.
- Engagement in the sessions: which sessions attracted the most audience and at what stage exits started.
- Feedback and surveys: satisfaction scores by session and by speaker.
