You already know which parts of this break.
Someone spends a weekend on a mail merge so the certificates go out.
A school’s payment falls through the cracks until they email asking about a reminder you sent by accident.
A spreadsheet is the single source of truth for who is coming to your next workshop.
What it does
One system for the whole event lifecycle.
Teachers register themselves. The money looks after itself. The paperwork arrives without anyone remembering it.
Public registration
Your own catalogue and a five-step wizard. Teachers add colleagues from the same school and pay by card, invoice, purchase order, cheque or wire.
Billing that chases itself
Invoices raise on registration, outstanding balances surface on one screen, and reminders go out on schedule instead of when someone remembers.
The rest of the operation
- + Workshop leader portal, rosters and attendance
- + Zoom links provisioned for virtual events
- + Waitlists that promote automatically
- + Honoraria, cancellations, refunds and credits
- + Year over year analytics for whoever approves the budget
Built by someone who runs these workshops.
I have helped run IB professional development workshops for over a decade: the same registration chaos, the same invoicing mess, the same certificate scramble you just read about.
I am also a developer, so instead of complaining about it I built the tool I wanted. It has been rebuilt three times against what actually breaks in a real season. When you email support, you get the person who wrote the code.
