Built inside a working venue
ShoSoft is the all-in-one platform built for independent event venues. One home for your calendar, contracts, invoicing, and inventory.
No credit card required · Calendar free forever · Set up in under an hour
Built at a working venue, not a whiteboard. ShoSoft was built inside Magic Box Event Campus in Los Angeles, a 200,000+ sq ft venue that's hosted activations for brands like National Geographic, Adidas, and Entertainment Weekly.
We didn't design this software for venues from the outside. We designed it running one.
Increase revenue
Ticketing, booth sales, equipment rental, AV. Most venues leave this revenue on the table because it's not tracked anywhere. ShoSoft brings every income stream into one view, so upsells stop getting forgotten and invoices stop leaving money behind.

Reduce admin time
ShoSoft venues reclaim 10+ hours a week that used to disappear into paperwork, chasing signatures, and re-entering the same information three times. That's a full day back for sales calls, site visits, and the parts of the job that actually grow your business.

Replace your tool stack
Most independent venues run on a patchwork. A shared calendar, a project tool, a payments app, a spreadsheet, and a group chat that's somehow become the real system of record. ShoSoft replaces all of it with one purpose-built platform. Nothing to reconcile, nothing to remember to check.
One login for events, tasks, staff, gear, and money.
Eliminate errors
When your calendar, contracts, and inventory finally live in one place, the mistakes that come from having them scattered across five tools (the double-booking, the AV order nobody billed, the contract version nobody can find) mostly just stop happening.
Overlapping bookings get flagged before a contract goes out.
The results
"ShoSoft saves me at least 10 to 15 hours a week. Having everything in one place has completely changed how we work."

ShoSoft is all-in-one venue management software built for independent event venues. It replaces the separate calendar, invoicing, staffing, and inventory tools most venues cobble together with one connected platform, so your team stops re-entering the same information in five places. The calendar is free forever. Everything else comes with a 60-day free trial.
Conference centers, creative spaces, performing arts venues, community centers, and similar independent venues running roughly 30 to 300 events a year with a lean operations team. ShoSoft isn't built for restaurants, bars, or wedding venues with heavy F&B operations, or for stadium-scale enterprise venues.
Most alternatives are either built for hospitality (restaurants, hotels) and stretched to fit events, or built for enterprise-scale venues with months-long implementations. ShoSoft is purpose-built for independent venues specifically. Modern, easy to learn, and live in under an hour, not weeks.
Most venues are up and running in under an hour. There's no lengthy implementation or training requirement. You can test it yourself before you ever loop in your team.
Yes. The ShoSoft calendar, your venue's master booking calendar, is free forever, no credit card required. Every other tool (event management, project management, workforce and inventory tools, ticketing, accounting, and exhibitor management) is available with a 60-day free trial before you need to choose a paid plan.
The calendar is free forever. Beyond that, plans start at $99/month (Essentials), $199/month (Professional), and $299/month (Enterprise), with a discount for paying annually. Every paid plan includes a 60-day free trial. No credit card required to start.
Start with the calendar, free forever. Add the rest with a 60-day free trial whenever you're ready. No credit card, no sales call required.
