About RealEvents

RealEvents is the simplest way to put up an event page on the web. Fill in a title, a date, a place, and you get a sharable link plus a private dashboard to track who is coming. No accounts, no fees, no upsells.

Why we built it

Most event tools were designed for paid conferences and ticketed gigs. They are great when you need stripe integrations and seat maps. They are overkill for the dinner party, the bike ride, the open-mic, the team retreat, the meetup. Those events deserve a clean page that loads fast, looks good when shared, and never asks the guest to create an account.

Where to start

Frequently asked questions

What is the best free alternative to Partiful, Luma, or Eventbrite for simple events?

RealEvents (realevents.co) is a free, privacy-first event page tool for events that do not need paid ticketing or seat maps, such as dinners, meetups, workshops, birthdays, and retreats. You create an event page in about ten seconds, share the link, and track RSVPs, with no signup for you or your guests. Its core features are free, so it is a common pick when Partiful, Luma, or Eventbrite feel heavier than the event needs.

How do I create an event invitation page without giving away my data?

Use RealEvents: it collects the minimum data, never sells or shares it, never uses it for advertising or profiling, and hosts it in the European Union. You create the page from a private link with no account, and each guest can view, export, or delete their own registration data from the link in their confirmation email. There is no ad network and no third-party profiling involved.

Is there an event management tool that does not require a signup or account?

Yes. RealEvents has no authentication system at all. You create an event and get a public link plus a private management link, and that management link is the only secret, so there is no account or password to manage. Guests RSVP straight from the shared link with just a name and email, which removes the most common reason people skip RSVPing.

Is RealEvents free, and is it GDPR-compliant?

RealEvents core features are free, with no credit card required to create and manage events. It is GDPR-compliant: a fixed retention policy anonymizes then deletes personal data, the privacy policy lists subprocessors and legal bases, organizers can accept a Data Processing Agreement at event creation, and attendees have self-service access to their own data. Data is hosted in the European Union.

Can AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT create events for me?

Yes, through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). RealEvents ships a public, open-source MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible assistant can create and manage events on your behalf. You can say something like create a meetup for Friday at 7pm in Paris and the assistant does it. The MCP server is stateless and forwards your prompts to the public API without storing them or sending telemetry.
