Tabletop convention software

Tabletop native

One operating system for the whole convention.

Replace disconnected ticketing, scheduling, spreadsheets, forms, and Discord handoffs with one tabletop-native workspace for organizers and attendees.

Schedule

Games, rooms, tables, seats, and hosts

Operations

Registration through live Event Command

Community

A player journey that lasts beyond one weekend

Organizer outcomes

Spend less time reconciling tools and more time shaping the event.

Apiary connects the work before, during, and after the convention so each team sees the same operating picture.

01

Sell badges without rebuilding the attendee list

Run badge sales, carts, promotions, check-in, printed QR badges, and holder assignments from one registration record.

02

Build a schedule around how tabletop events actually work

Collect GM submissions, place games across rooms and tables, manage seat capacity, and give attendees a personal schedule.

03

Give directors a shared live-operations view

Track volunteer coverage, handoffs, incidents, decisions, fallbacks, and operational risks without losing the history in chat.

04

Carry community relationships into the next year

Connect attendee profiles, partners, vendors, creators, achievements, and cross-convention journeys to the organization behind the event.

One operating loop

Plan, launch, operate, and learn in the same system.

The organizer workspace and public attendee experience share one event model, reducing duplicate entry and last-minute drift.

  1. Phase 1

    Plan

    Set badges, rooms, tables, modules, policies, staff roles, and launch readiness.

  2. Phase 2

    Launch

    Open registration and submissions, review games, publish the schedule, and communicate changes.

  3. Phase 3

    Operate

    Check people in, fill open seats, coordinate volunteers, and run Event Command from a shared record.

  4. Phase 4

    Close out

    Reconcile commerce, export reporting, preserve decisions, and clone what worked into the next event.

Ready today

The tabletop operating loop is already connected.

These are working product surfaces, not a list of generic event-management aspirations.

Registration and commerce

Move attendees from purchase to the registration desk with one auditable record.

  • Badge types, carts, holder assignments, promotions, and QR check-in
  • Merchandise, workshops, sponsors, vendor packages, and settlement exports
  • Explicit payment modes and controlled live-money activation

Games and scheduling

Model the constraints that generic session calendars miss.

  • GM submissions, review queues, rooms, tables, time slots, and seat limits
  • Reservations, waitlists, open-seat discovery, and personal schedules
  • Tournament brackets, lending library, and Find Your Table

Live operations

Keep directors aligned when the event stops behaving like the plan.

  • Volunteer applications, shifts, hours, and coverage gaps
  • Issues, incidents, decisions, handoffs, fallback plans, and journals
  • Staff-reviewed assistant suggestions with citations and audit boundaries

Community and growth

Give the organization useful memory across recurring events.

  • Persistent player profiles, connections, achievements, and journeys
  • Partner, sponsor, vendor, and creator relationship workflows
  • Templates, cloning, theming, embeds, APIs, webhooks, and import previews

Scope check

Best fit: tabletop organizers who need more than ticketing.

Apiary is strongest when registration, game scheduling, tables, volunteers, vendors, live operations, and community all matter. Specialized hotel-block, travel, and venue-safety systems remain external responsibilities and can be linked into the event workflow.

Build the next convention from one operating record.

Create an organizer account, choose the tabletop convention preset, and start with the modules your team actually needs.
