Localist: Your trusted, tested and reliable platform for community growth and engagement

For more than 10 years, our customers have relied on us to grow and strengthen communities through events - to the tune of 10 million registrations and counting.
Along the way, we’ve learned a few things. Integrations haven’t always been easy, but we charged ahead to meet the needs of distributed communities with complex technical requirements. 

We’ve constantly tested and refined new ideas and technologies to see what works. As a result, we’ve made events easier to discover, thus boosting attendance. We’ve integrated rich data analysis to uncover brand ambassadors and fuel more successful events. And we’re busy at work on new features (coming soon!)

“Excellent platform with a very helpful team. I love how user-friendly the platform is. It makes it very simple for me to add, submit, and categorize all of our community events. The EventReach metric is very helpful to ensure that all events reach the maximum number of people. The team was able to design our platform to match our website perfectly, so there is a seamless transition from our website to the event platform.”

Some things we believe in

Without events, you don’t have a community.

OUR PURPOSE

Build authentic connections between people.

OUR MISSION

Grow communities through events.

OUR VALUES

Be community minded (listen)
We leave our egos at the door when searching for the best ideas. We make time to help colleagues. We treat people with respect, independent of their status or disagreements.
Connect the dots (process)
We constantly ask “why” something is the way it is. We challenge sacred cows. We expand our knowledge through books, seminars, mentors, conferences, etc. We truly consider the opinions of others.
Take ownership (act)
We ask for forgiveness, not permission (balancing with the other values, of course). We are biased towards action. We see things through to the end. We don’t give up if the first few attempts at success fail. We can be vulnerable and trusting in the face of uncertainty.
Keep it real (...with style)
We are known for candor and directness. We are quick to admit mistakes. We question actions that are inconsistent with our values. We are even-tempered, but not meek. We speak truth to power.
