Our verdict on Planara
Planara is a web-based event registration and management platform for conferences, exhibitions, training programmes, workshops, camps and classes. Its strongest fit is professional in-person events with several stakeholder groups, including associations, corporate summits, academic conferences and government forums. The platform brings branded multilingual websites, configurable registration forms, paid and invited attendee ticketing, online payment handling, badge production, QR badge scanning and onsite check-in into one event workflow. It also covers schedules, speakers, exhibitors, analytics and event data export.
The feature depth is most apparent in the onsite and exhibitor workflow. Organizers can create multi-track schedules with room capacities, manage speaker abstract submission and review, and provide exhibitor portals with lead capture. Live registration, revenue and attendance analytics support ongoing visibility during event delivery, while data export provides a path to use event information beyond the platform. These capabilities make Planara a practical match for conferences and exhibitions where registration, venue operations, speakers and exhibitors need to be coordinated together.
Planara offers a Single event plan for managing and running one event, while the Enterprise plan supports multiple events with deeper customization and integration work. Pricing is contact-sales and quote-based. The platform is available on the web, with DTCM API listed as its integration. That focused scope may suit organizations prioritizing in-person conference operations, but teams seeking virtual or hybrid event coverage, a broader platform ecosystem or self-serve pricing may prefer an alternative. Choose Planara when exhibitor workflows, onsite check-in and conference scheduling are central requirements; look elsewhere when event formats or integration breadth are the main priority.
