Frequently Asked Questions

? Is REDAXO hard to install for conference management?

REDAXO is easy to install via Docker or traditional web servers. However, setting up conference-specific features (like registration forms) requires configuring add-ons, which may need basic CMS and web development skills.

? Is REDAXO a good alternative to Eventbrite for conferences?

Yes, if you prioritize self-hosted data control and customization. Unlike Eventbrite, it’s free/open-source but lacks built-in payment processing—you’ll need third-party tools for ticket payments.

? Is REDAXO completely free for conference management?

Yes! REDAXO is GPLv3 licensed, so core features are fully free. Some third-party add-ons may have paid plans, but all essential conference tools (forms, schedules) are available at no cost.
