Highbar

We're building the event tech modern teams deserve. Simple, fast, beautiful, and intelligent.

Hey there 👋

We're the team behind Highbar, event app software built for organizers who move fast.

Our founder, Michael, created Attendify in 2011, one of the industry's first DIY event apps. Over the next decade, Attendify powered more than 20,000 events and served 10 million attendees. It proved that event tech could be easy, impactful, and fast.

But the world moved on. AI made smarter experiences possible. Organizers needed even faster setup. Attendees expected consumer-grade design.

So we built Highbar: the event app that launches in under a day, with AI that answers questions, recommends sessions, and connects the right people, automatically.

We're building tools that help planners run smoother events, deliver more value to sponsors, and create engaging experiences for attendees.

Founded in 2025, we're excited to build Highbar with the community that inspired us. If you'd like to collaborate, reach out anytime at hello@highbar.ai.

Values

Product Led

Our AI handles repetitive questions so organizers don't have to. Our builder launches apps in under a day, not weeks. Every decision optimizes for speed and delight.

Customer Obsessed

We talk to customers every week. Our roadmap comes from real pain points, not feature parity checklists. If it doesn't help organizers or attendees, we don't build it.

Transparent

No sales calls required. No surprise fees. No complex onboarding. We believe good software should be easy to try, easy to use, and easy to understand.
