About Pragmatic Meet

We build a free tool for meetup organizers and tech communities. We are based in Kraków, we keep data in the EU, and we charge nothing for organizing.

Who we are

Pragmatic Meet is built at Pragmatic Coders — a software house from Kraków that has been shipping digital products since 2014. We go to meetups and we run them ourselves, so we know the problems from the inside: sign-ups scattered across three channels, a waitlist in a spreadsheet, reminders sent by hand the night before.

So we built the tool we wanted to use. It is free for organizers and it will stay that way — we maintain it because we believe in communities that actually meet. And if you get to know Pragmatic Coders along the way, even better.

The blue creature on our site is Meetek, our good-natured little spirit. He will show up in different parts of the product and help you find your way.

Why Pragmatic Meet, not Meetup or Eventbrite?

1

A group, not a one-off meetup

A public community page, members, admin roles, and join open or with your approval. People come back to the group, not to a single link.

2

Sign-ups without the spreadsheet

Capacity, a queued waitlist, a survey before RSVP, the attendee list and an export. You see who is coming — and who is waiting.

3

Events belong to the group

You publish as the group, members get a new-event message, and an RSVP can join the community at the same time.

4

From reminder to live

Messages to confirmed and waitlisted people, automatic reminders 7 days / 24 h / 4 h before start, and a live mode when the event begins.

5

Numbers from your community, not from Google Analytics

Members, sign-ups, waitlist, live attendance, and group growth — for group admins and event organizers. You see what happened in your space, without dumping people into a third-party analytics tool.

6

You know which link actually works

Visits, sign-ups and CTR by source, medium and campaign, plus a chart over time. You see whether people came from the members email, your share link, or Facebook.

What we offer organizers

  • A public page, or just the link

    Publish the group and the event in the catalog, or keep them for people with the link. You decide who even sees the sign-up.

  • Members, roles, and joining on your terms

    Open join or requests you approve. You assign admin roles, browse the member list, and message the whole community.

  • Sign-ups: capacity, waitlist, survey, and export

    A seat limit and a queued waitlist, a survey before RSVP with response export, the attendee list and CSV. You can pause registration; a special guest can still come in over capacity.

  • You publish the event as the group

    Members get a message about the new meetup, and an RSVP can join the community at the same time. Later editions you copy from the draft — description, survey, and settings stay.

  • Live mode on the event page

    Embed YouTube (player and chat) or point to Zoom or Twitch. Preview before start, one click to go live — attendees see the stream without refreshing. You see who actually joined, including hybrid room-plus-stream events.

  • Numbers from your community and from your links

    The group-admin and event-organizer panels: members, sign-ups, waitlist, attendance, growth. Separately — visits, CTR, and UTM, so you know where people came from.

  • Polish and English

    The interface in both languages. The group name, event description, and survey stay in the language you wrote them in.
