Galas & awards

Gala and awards night software for a flawless evening

A gala lives or dies on details a generic ticketing tool never touches: who's at which table, which sponsor's logo goes where, what catering cost against budget, and whether the VIP at the door is on the list. Novex holds all of it.

Free forever on Beam. 14-day free trial on paid plans — no card required.

Built for the evening, not the sign-up

A gala is a production, not a form

Invitations go out as branded emails with a QR code and RSVP; you keep an accurate headcount as replies come in, and open or close the guest list with a single toggle when you reach the room's capacity. For an invite-only evening, registration stays private — no public link, no gate-crashers.

What galas and awards nights need

Guests, invitations, and RSVP

Invitations go out as branded emails with a QR code and RSVP; you keep an accurate headcount as replies come in, and open or close the guest list with a single toggle when you reach the room's capacity. For an invite-only evening, registration stays private — no public link.

Sponsors and the evening's partners

Add sponsors per event with a tier — Main Partner, Main Sponsor, Strategic, Supporting, or Exhibitor — track each one's status from Contacted through In Negotiation to Confirmed, and record the package value so you always know the evening's committed sponsorship revenue. Sponsors, branding, and invoicing sit in one place.

Catering, budget, and the real P&L

Build the event budget once — AV Production, Stage Lighting, Floral & Decor, Hospitality, Entertainment, Catering, Print & Signage — and Novex tracks committed, spent, and variance against it for the rest of the run. Purchase orders and vendor invoices feed the same picture, so the morning after you know exactly what the night returned.

On-the-night check-in

The check-in kiosk turns any tablet into a fast door: scan the QR from the invitation, or find a guest by the last digits of their phone number, and register a late addition on the spot. Print a clean four-field badge if the evening calls for one.

Gala software FAQ

Can I keep the guest list private?

Yes — run registration invite-only, with no public link, and close it when you hit the room's capacity.

How does Novex handle sponsors for a gala?

Add sponsors per event with a tier (Main Partner, Strategic, Supporting, and more), track their status, and record package value — with branding and invoicing in the same place.

Can I see whether the night made money?

Yes — a live P&L tracks committed, spent, and variance against your budget, with POs and vendor invoices feeding in.

Does check-in work for a black-tie door?

Yes — scan the invitation QR or search by phone, and register late additions on the spot from a tablet kiosk.
