Free event tool · By PIRATEx
Your attendees are your best marketing.
Give them a reason to post.
Give everyone at your event a branded graphic they will actually post. The posts turn into page visits, the visits into ticket clicks, and you watch it happen in numbers. Free.
ShowUp is a free event tool by PIRATEx. You build a branded event page in fifteen minutes. Your guests upload a photo and get a graphic to post in sixty seconds, with no app and without the photo ever leaving their device. In the dashboard you see posts, visits and ticket clicks.
The problem
Your best marketing is the people who show up.
Your best marketing is the people who show up.
Yet almost nobody uses that channel.
A post from a speaker or a guest carries more weight than any ad. It is real, it reaches exactly the right people, and it costs you nothing. And still, most of the time it never happens.
The reason is effort. Nobody builds a good graphic by hand in Canva, exports it one at a time and chases speakers for a post. So most people post nothing, and the reach already sitting in the room goes to waste.
The idea
A picture worth sharing.
A picture worth sharing.
That is all it takes.
Nobody builds a graphic. But everyone uploads a photo.
ShowUp takes the effort out. Your guests upload a photo, drop it into a frame with your branding, and post it with a ready-made caption. Sixty seconds, on their phone, no app. One tap turns into a post that points back to your event.

One tap for your guests.
Set it up once, then it runs.
Frame, logo, two colors. Optionally your own domain, QR codes and your ticket link. After that the dashboard shows what the loop delivers: posts, visits, ticket clicks.
Photo in, graphic out, posted.
Sixty seconds on their phone, no app and no account. The photo stays on the device. With ready-made captions for LinkedIn, X and WhatsApp that link back to your event.
Privacy by design
Nothing that has to go past legal.
Nothing that has to go past legal.
Here, privacy is not a setting. It is how the thing is built.
The graphic is built in your guest's browser, not on a server. This is not a feature you switch on. It is the reason ShowUp is built the way it is.
The photo stays on the device
The graphic is built right in your guest's browser. No upload, no server, nothing to explain.
No app, no account
Your guests install nothing and sign up nowhere. Open the page, drop in a photo, done.
Data-minimised, EU-hosted
Event pages set no cookies and load no third-party scripts. Raw IP addresses are not stored.
Numbers you can trust
The dashboard measures posts, visits and ticket clicks in aggregate. No per-person profiles, just the loop.
For any goal
Speakers, sponsors, guests.
Speakers, sponsors, guests.
Every one of them becomes a channel.
Activate your speakers
Your speakers post that they will be there. Every post brings their audience straight to your event.
Make sponsors visible
Sponsors get their own frame and share it with pride. The kind of visibility they usually pay extra for.
Mobilise your attendees
Every guest becomes a channel. A photo turns into a post, and a post turns into a click on your ticket.
Build momentum before the day
Weeks out, the counter shows how many are already coming. That pulls the undecided along.
No upload
The photo never leaves your guest's device.
No app
Open the page, build the graphic, post.
Data-minimised
Cookieless event pages. EU-hosted.
Free
No trial, no freemium. Genuinely free.
Why it is free
Free, because it works for us too.
At PIRATEx we have been running events for over 15 years, and we built ShowUp for our own rooms. A tool that turns guests into reach, instead of clicking graphics together by hand.
It works for us, so we share it. The small PIRATEx logo on every graphic is the entire price. It markets us quietly while it works for you.
ShowUp / FAQ
Common questions about ShowUp
Is ShowUp really free?
Yes. ShowUp is completely free, for every event, with no tiers and no card. A small watermark and a link back are the whole price. We run events ourselves and built it for our own rooms.
Do my guests need an app or an account?
No. Your guests open the page, upload a photo and post. No app, no login, nothing to install. The graphic is built right in their browser.
What happens to my guests' photos?
Nothing leaves the device. The graphic is built locally in the browser and the photo is never uploaded. There is no server for it to land on, so there is nothing to explain to legal.
How long does setup take?
About fifteen minutes. Pick a frame, upload your logo, set two colors, done. If you want a custom domain, custom frames or QR codes, you get those on top.
Can I use my own branding and domain?
Yes. Logo, colors and custom frames are part of it. On request the event page runs under your own domain via CNAME, with your ticket link and QR codes for on-site.
Does it run in German or English?
Both. You choose the language per event. Your guests see the page in German or English, exactly as you set it.
What do I measure in the end?
Posts, page visits and ticket clicks, in aggregate and without cookies. You see shared images turn into visitors, and visitors turn into ticket clicks. With a CSV export if you want it.
Your guests are already in the room.
