What we are
building next

A real, public roadmap. We re-grade weekly.

Want the history instead? See the changelog.

Now

In flight this week

All P0 items are closed. We are validating with a real event before piling on more.

🎯
Beta launch with first friendly client
This week

P0 sprint is closed. The next risk surface is a real event, not more solo testing. Picking the client now.

πŸ’³
Real-money PayFast end-to-end test
This week

Sandbox round-trip with a refund. Confirms the payment + webhook + dunning stack handles real flows.

πŸ“§
Email deliverability dashboard
Next 2 weeks

SPF/DKIM verifier per tenant. An organiser should not discover after the event that 30% of confirmations went to spam.

🎨
Per-event branding override
Next 2 weeks

Multi-event tenants want different colours for different events. Today it is tenant-wide only.

Just shipped

July 2025

See the changelog for the full story.

A4 bulk badge printing and self-check-in badges

Bulk badge printing supports a Zebra/label printer or a normal A4 printer (landscape, cut by hand); self-check-in attendees get their badge emailed to print themselves.

Event photo gallery

Attendees upload event photos in the companion app; organisers approve or reject before they go public, or auto-approve if they choose. Uploads earn leaderboard points.

Enterprise SSO (SAML 2.0 and OIDC)

Per-tenant IdP configuration for admin panel login. Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace. JIT provisioning, test mode, enforcement.

Community and Engagement GA

Community posts, direct messaging, live polls, Q&A, and gamification leaderboard - all generally available.

Tenant subscription + billing

Trials, activations, renewals, dunning, expiry. The full state machine. 17 automated tests.

Selective test backbone

34 tests covering tenant scoping, payment webhooks, refund flow, signed URLs, feature flags.

Refund flow end-to-end

PayFast + Paystack refund APIs wired. Idempotent webhooks. Race-safe checkout.

POPIA data export + deletion

Per-tenant export and right-to-erasure. Settings -> Data Privacy.

First-event onboarding wizard

Getting Started widget on the admin dashboard.

Per-user impersonation

Super-admins can log in as any specific user. Role labels in the banner.

Badge designer bug-audit

8 of 10 issues fixed before the next refactor.

Next

Planned, not started

Hardening from beta learnings, plus feature parity that closes the "why not us?" objections.

Hardening

  • πŸ–¨οΈ
    ZPL renderer (pixel-perfect Zebra print)
    Q3 2026

    TCP-mode badges currently do not match the designed canvas.

  • πŸ›‘οΈ
    Public form anti-spam + uploads + conditional logic
    Q3 2026

    CAPTCHA / honeypot, file upload field type, show-if rules.

Feature parity

  • 🎀
    Public speaker + session pages
    Q3 2026

    Standard conference UX. Today admins enter them, attendees cannot see them.

  • πŸ‘€
    Speaker self-service portal
    Q3 2026

    Speakers update their own bios. Saves the organiser chasing 30 emails.

  • 🀝
    Sponsor model + portal
    Q4 2026

    Required for any conference with paid sponsors.

  • πŸ“±
    Exhibitor lead-capture mobile flow
    Q4 2026

    QR-scan-to-capture for booth staff. A differentiator vs FooEvents.

  • πŸ“¨
    Campaign builder UI
    Q4 2026

    Mailchimp-style draft -> segment -> send -> track. Big unlock.

  • πŸ“…
    Multi-day agenda UI
    Q3 2026

    Day-by-day schedule for multi-day conferences.

  • πŸ”
    Recurring events / event series
    Q4 2026

    Quarterly and annual conferences want one parent with multiple editions.

Later

Trust + ops layer

Per-tenant Terms of Service + Privacy Policy Q1 2027
Organiser documentation site Q1 2027

Honest "coming soon"

SCIM provisioning/deprovisioning

SSO for attendee portal
πŸ”“
IdP-initiated logout (SLO)
