What EventCamp.ca Inc. does

EventCamp.ca Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned SaaS company headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, founded circa 2012 by Riel ree Dion. The company provides an all-in-one online registration, ticketing, and event management platform targeted at Canadian associations, Indigenous communities (Métis, First Nations, Aboriginal), not-for-profits, and professional event managers. The platform is delivered as a cloud-hosted web application with native iOS and Android apps, integrating payment processing via PayPal, Stripe, Worldline (Bambora), and Clover Connect, and supporting social sign-on through Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn OAuth. Feature set spans QR code-based contactless check-in, real-time financial reporting, sponsorship package builders, exhibitor lead generation tools, membership/subscription management, and a Business Connect mobile networking module with push notifications, in-app chat, and gamification. PIPEDA-compliant privacy posture is self-attested given its Canadian jurisdiction.

The company monetizes through a tiered, per-event pricing model with no contracts and no per-user fees: FreeCamp (free registration, no payments), QuickCamp (5% transaction fee on paid events), Memberships & Subscriptions ($199 per event for recurring membership collection), CampFire ($299 per event activation), BonFire ($499 per event activation with sponsorship/exhibitor tools), and Aurora ($999 per event activation with surveys, call-for-presenters, and gamification). Optional Business Connect mobile networking is sold at $599 per event. Optional ancillary services (printing, graphic design, hardware rentals, stationery) are quoted separately. The go-to-market combines self-serve PLG sign-up with Calendly-assisted demos and a curated supplier partner network (All Nations Print, Artisan AV, Indigeno Travel, Show Stream, etc.).

EventCamp operates as a small, bootstrapped business with approximately 6 employees and no external funding, no VCs, and no board of directors. Customer evidence consists of named associations across automotive trades (ATAMB, ARA BC, SAAR), mining (CCMEC), Indigenous health and reconciliation (FNHA, NCTR, SCO, SERDC), government (Efficiency Manitoba), and other verticals (Bear Clan Patrol, Grand Lodge of Manitoba, Shakespeare in the Ruins, World Archery Youth Championships). Operating footprint spans Canada and the United States, with international attendees served at scheduled events extending through 2028.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Cvent: Enterprise-grade event management platform covering registration, venue sourcing, and onsite solutions for large corporate meetings and conferences. Overlaps with EventCamp's higher tiers but targets much larger enterprise budgets and event sizes.
• Bizzabo: Enterprise Event Experience Platform offering registration, onsite, and engagement tools for corporate events. Comparable functionality to EventCamp's Aurora tier but positioned upmarket.

Direct peers

• Whova: Event management platform with strong mobile event app, agenda, networking, and attendee engagement features. Directly comparable to EventCamp's Business Connect app and engagement toolset.
• Eventzilla: Online event registration and ticketing platform supporting conferences, workshops, and classes. Closely comparable to EventCamp's QuickCamp and CampFire tiers in scope and target buyer.
• MemberClicks: Association management software (AMS) providing membership database, event registration, and online community tools for small-staff associations. Directly comparable on member-management + event functionality for professional and trade associations.
• Eventbrite: Large-scale self-serve event ticketing and registration platform serving creators, nonprofits, and businesses globally. Competes head-to-head on ticketing and registration, though at far greater scale and a different segment mix than EventCamp's association focus.
• RegFox: Event registration software with customizable forms, payment processing, and embeddable widgets for conferences and classes. Directly comparable registration-and-ticketing functionality to EventCamp.
• Ticket Tailor: Simple event ticketing platform with per-ticket pricing and no per-user fees. Comparable to EventCamp's pricing philosophy and ticketing-first value proposition, though lighter on association/membership features.
• Wild Apricot: Web-based membership management and event registration platform targeted at small and mid-sized associations and nonprofits. Most directly comparable to EventCamp due to overlapping association + event use cases, similar SMB pricing model, and Canadian/North American customer base.

Emerging players

• Glue Up: All-in-one membership, event, and CRM platform for associations and chambers of commerce. Comparable to EventCamp on combining membership management with event registration, though positioned more globally.
