“Can a purpose-built event calendar CMS remain the system-of-record for community events at universities, cities, and tourism boards?”
Localist is an event calendar and marketing CMS focused on higher education, government, and tourism customers. In September 2022 it was acquired by Concept3D, expanding its presence in higher education by integrating campus events with virtual touring and interactive mapping into a single platform. The product remains an events CMS with add-on registration/ticketing (Register) that leans on Stripe for card processing.
Localist processes payments through Stripe.
Localist was founded by Mykel Nahorniak and is headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, United States.
