Indico - A feature-rich event management system, made @ CERN, the place where the Web was born.
Indico is a full-featured, self-hostable event management system developed at CERN, covering event creation, attendee management, RSVPs, email notifications, and calendar support — exactly the kind of platform this search is looking for.
Ticket shop application for conferences, festivals, concerts, tech events, shows, exhibitions, workshops, barcamps, etc.
pretix is a self-hostable event management and ticketing platform that handles event creation, attendee sign-ups, and notifications, so it fits the core need for creating and managing events with RSVPs, though its focus on paid ticketing makes it a narrower fit than a general-purpose meetup RSVP tool.
Open-event-server is a comprehensive event management platform designed to coordinate conferences and meet-ups through a centralized administrative dashboard. It provides a unified system for organizing speaker schedules, managing session details, and overseeing the logistical execution of events from planning to completion. The platform distinguishes itself by integrating secure financial gateways to process registration fees and attendee transactions directly within the application interface. It also features an authentication service that delegates user verification to external social medi

Illa-builder is a low-code internal tool builder and API integration platform used to create business applications and admin panels. It functions as a database GUI dashboard and visual workflow automator, allowing users to connect to databases and external APIs to manage data and automate business processes. The platform provides a self-hosted app framework that can be deployed on private infrastructure via Docker. It enables the creation of custom dashboards and CRMs while maintaining full control over data and hosting. The system includes a visual drag-and-drop canvas for designing user in
Illa-builder is a low-code internal tool builder for creating custom dashboards and admin panels, not a dedicated event management and RSVP platform — you could build one with it, but it is not the ready-to-use meetup organizer this search asks for.
Openblocks is a low-code platform for building custom internal tools. It provides a visual interface where users can assemble applications by dragging and dropping pre-built components onto a canvas, connecting them to databases and APIs without writing code. The platform distinguishes itself through its architecture for embedding and reuse. Entire application pages can be rendered as native React components inside other applications, replacing traditional iframe-based embedding. Custom components and queries can be bundled into reusable modules for use across multiple applications, and an au
Openblocks is a low-code platform for building internal tools, not a ready-to-use event management and RSVP application — you would need to build the event features yourself, which is a different category from the turnkey solution you are looking for.
WildfireChat’s im-server is an open-source instant messaging backend that handles message routing, user management, and group chat for private deployments. It provides a self-hosted messaging platform that can run on private infrastructure without third-party cloud dependencies, supporting enterprise messaging with group management, user directories, and external system integration. The server synchronizes messages and state across mobile, desktop, web, and mini-program clients simultaneously, and supports real-time audio/video calls with group conferencing and live streaming. It includes enc
This is an instant messaging server, not an event management and RSVP platform — it handles chat and user management rather than event creation, sign-ups, or attendee tracking, so it is not the tool this search is after.
NodeBB is a real-time, self-hosted community forum platform built on Node.js. It is designed to support scalable discussion environments by utilizing a document-oriented database for content storage and an in-memory engine for high-speed data retrieval and session management. The platform provides a comprehensive administrative interface for managing user groups, forum settings, and system health. What distinguishes the platform is its native support for federated social networking via the ActivityPub protocol, allowing forums to exchange content, synchronize discussions, and interact with de
NodeBB is a self-hosted community forum platform, not an event management and RSVP tool—it lacks built-in event creation, sign-ups, and attendee management features, so it doesn't fit the described category.
Baserow is a no-code relational database and application builder that allows users to create structured data tables and business tools through a visual interface. It functions as a headless REST API data backend and a self-hosted data workspace, providing a platform for managing collaborative databases while maintaining full control over data residency. The platform integrates large language models to serve as an LLM-powered data platform, capable of generating database structures, record content, and technical workflows from natural language. It also acts as a Model Context Protocol server,
Baserow is a general-purpose no-code database and application builder that can be self-hosted, but it is not a purpose-built event management and RSVP platform — you would need to build the entire event workflow manually, so it does not directly match the visitor’s request for a ready-to-use meetup organizer.
Wasp is a declarative full-stack web framework that enables developers to build and deploy applications by defining their architecture in a centralized configuration. By using a high-level specification, the framework automates the orchestration of frontend, backend, and database components, ensuring that infrastructure concerns like routing, authentication, and data modeling are handled consistently across the entire stack. The framework distinguishes itself through its compiler-driven approach, which translates declarative configurations into cohesive, production-ready codebases. It provide
Wasp is a full-stack web framework for building applications, not a ready-to-use event management and RSVP platform — you would need to build the event features yourself rather than deploy it out of the box.
