Managing Event Management System at scale is not just about listing events online.
Real businesses need control, security, payments, commission tracking, and attendee verification.
This Event Management System is a real-world, production-ready MERN stack project built to solve exactly that.
It supports Admin, Organizer, and Attendee roles, includes payment integration using Razorpay, and works with a commission-based business model.
This is not a basic demo project.
It is designed for startups, agencies, colleges, and client delivery.
Introduction to the Event Management System
Most online event platforms fail because they focus only on UI and ignore real business flow.
In reality, an event platform needs:
- a central admin panel
- multiple organizers hosting events
- secure authentication
- online ticket booking
- automatic commission calculation
- live attendee check-in at the venue
This online event management system combines all these features into a single, scalable platform built using React, Next.js, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
What Problem This Event Management System Solves
Traditional event handling usually looks like this:
- organizers collect payments manually
- admins track commission in spreadsheets
- attendees show screenshots at entry
- no proper verification system
This system replaces all of that with:
- a centralized admin-controlled platform
- verified organizer onboarding
- online event booking with payment gateway
- automatic admin commission
- entry code based check-in system
Everything works inside one system.
Technology Stack Used (MERN Stack)
This project is built using a modern, scalable MERN stack architecture.
Frontend тАУ React & Next.js
- React is used for component-based UI
- Next.js improves performance and SEO
- Fully responsive design for mobile and desktop
This makes the project suitable as a React resume-level project and interview-ready frontend application.
Backend тАУ Node.js & Express
- REST APIs built using Node.js and Express
- Role-based access control implemented at API level
- Secure request handling and validations
This backend structure makes it a real-world Node.js project, not a basic CRUD app.
Database тАУ MongoDB
- MongoDB is used for storing users, events, bookings, and payments
- Clean schema design for scalability
- Suitable for production deployment
Role-Based Access Control (Admin, Organizer, Attendee)
The system is divided into three main roles, each with specific permissions.
Admin
- platform owner
- full control over users, events, and revenue
Organizer
- hosts and manages events
- tracks revenue and performance
Attendee
- books events
- makes payments
- attends events using entry code
This role-based event management system ensures security and scalability.
Admin Panel Features (Dashboard & Revenue Control)
The admin panel is the core of the system.
From the admin dashboard, the platform owner can:
- view total platform revenue
- see total commission earned
- monitor monthly revenue analytics
- manage all users and organizers
- approve or reject organizer requests
- create and manage event categories
- view booking and payment history
This makes it a complete event management system with admin panel.
Admin Revenue & Commission System
Whenever an attendee books an event:
- payment is processed via Razorpay
- admin commission (for example 25%) is automatically calculated
- remaining amount goes to the organizer
No manual calculation.
No external tools.
This feature makes it ideal for multi-organizer event marketplaces.
Organizer Access via Inquiry System (Inner & Outer Organizers)
Organizers cannot directly create accounts.
Instead, the system uses an inquiry-based approval flow.
How it works:
- Organizer submits an inquiry form
- Email verification is required
- Admin reviews the request
- Admin approves or rejects the organizer
- Approved organizers receive login access
This prevents:
- fake organizers
- spam accounts
- duplicate users
The system supports:
- Inner organizers (internal team)
- Outer organizers (external individuals or companies)
Organizer Panel Features
Once approved, organizers get their own dashboard.
From the organizer panel, they can:
- create new events
- manage existing events
- view total ticket sales
- track admin commission
- see net earnings clearly
- update event status (upcoming, completed, cancelled)
This transparency builds trust between admin and organizers.
Event Creation & Management
Creating an event includes:
- event title
- category
- date and time
- location
- ticket price
- event image
Once published, the event appears on the public website and is available for booking.
Attendee Module (Event Booking Flow)
The attendee experience is intentionally simple.
Attendees can:
- browse events without login
- register only when booking
- pay securely using Razorpay
- receive confirmation instantly
After successful payment:
- a unique entry code is sent via email
- the same code is stored in the user profile as backup
Entry Code & Live Check-In System
This feature makes the system usable in real venues.
At the event gate:
- attendee shows the entry code
- organizer searches the code
- attendee is marked as тАЬAttendedтАЭ
Once marked:
- the entry is locked
- duplicate entry is not possible
This removes fake entries and manual checking.
Booking Details & Payment Records
Each booking stores:
- attendee information
- order ID
- payment ID
- payment status
- amount paid
- event details
Admins and organizers can track complete payment history inside the system.
Authentication & Security
The system uses:
- email-based OTP authentication
- role-based route protection
- secure login and logout flows
OTP is time-limited, adding an extra layer of security.
Responsive Design & Production Readiness
This project is:
- fully responsive
- mobile and desktop friendly
- scalable for future features
- suitable for VPS or cloud deployment
It is ready to be used as:
- a startup MVP
- a client project
- a white-label event platform
