## What is Luma?

DISCOVER EVENTS NEAR YOU

Find popular upcoming tech, crypto, wellness, and social events around you. After registering for an event, you can easily share it with your friends or on your socials. At the event, pull up your event ticket or Apple Wallet pass for seamless entry.

CHAT WITH (NEW) FRIENDS

Don’t be that "Ugh, want to add me on IG / LinkedIn?" person. If you attend an event with someone, you can easily look them up and chat with them right from within Luma.

HOST AN EVENT

Host delightful events with ease. Create a beautiful event page, send email and SMS invites, collect registrations, and chat with your guests. With Luma taking care of reminders, ticketing, checking in and more, you can focus your full attention on the event itself.

BEAUTIFUL EVENT PAGES

You can create a beautiful event page in just a few seconds. Just choose a cover image, name, location and time for your event. We’ll take care of the rest.

For cover images, you can choose from our fun gallery of party posters, bbq invites, happy hour photos and many more.

SELL TICKETS

You can create a new event, start selling tickets, and market your event all within Luma. It takes just a few minutes to connect your bank account and then you’ll receive next day payment as guests buy tickets.

SMS AND EMAIL INVITES

Now you’ve created your event — who is going to come? You can sync your contacts and easily send a mass SMS invite message.

In addition, Luma makes it incredibly easy to invite past guests again and to send email invites.

CHECK IN GUESTS

If you want to track attendance, you can check in guests with our built in QR code scanner and check in system. Guests will be able to show their QR code to scan in — or you can look them up by their name or email.

You can add cohosts to your event who can also check in guests and manage the event together.

### 5/5 — Great for community events

*2026-08-18*

This is such a user friendly way for people to register for community events. I run a weekly hyper local show and it’s always a pain to get a head count / distribute info etc. 

I no longer have a million texts the day of an event and I can easily notify attendees of any changes etc. 

Super helpful. I never write reviews. But this is a great tool.
