The story
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.
