Micepad is a multi-tenant event platform. Organizers work in **Studio**. Attendees use public registration pages, kiosks, and the Event App.

This site is the product and API reference. Step-by-step how-tos for organizers and attendees stay on the [help center](https://help.micepad.co).

## What you can run

An **account** owns many **events** (`Gathering` in the product). Each event can turn on:

- **Registration** — open form, RSVP, ticketing, check-in only, or an external form
- **Onsite** — staff check-in, kiosks, badge printing, app-login QR
- **Event website** — public site builder
- **Event App** — attendee PWA (agenda, speakers, Q&A, exhibitors, live stream)
- **Content** — schedule, speakers, documents, surveys, seating
- **Expo & sponsors** — exhibitors, booths, lead capture, passport
- **Communication** — email campaigns and automated emails
- **Analytics** — reports and exports

:::note
Some modules are plan-gated. Registration forms and email campaigns need Starter or Pro. Badge templates need Starter or higher. Kiosks need Pro. Event App, lead retrieval, and expo passport are add-ons.
