Perhaps my best purchase on AppSumo
I’ve just noticed that HeySummit is back on AppSumo, and thought it was the perfect time to share our experience, especially if you’re on the fence and not sure whether to grab it.
We first picked up HeySummit in May 2019, as we were planning a high-end online summit in the medical niche in Australia. Initially, we considered building our own platform from scratch, but when I discovered HeySummit, it had everything we needed—at a fraction of the cost we’d allocated for custom development.
We launched our first 2-day summit in November 2019, and it came together smoothly. The HeySummit team provided great support whenever we needed it, and the platform worked flawlessly. We received fantastic feedback on how professional the event looked and felt.
Even though the summit was free to attend, we generated over AU$5,000 in advertising revenue from sponsors. One of HeySummit’s best features is the ability to easily showcase sponsor logos on event pages and in emails—a huge bonus for us, given the advertising restrictions in the medical space.
That initial success fired us up to make it an annual event. Over the next five years, our summit grew to thousands of attendees and brought in six figures in advertising revenue by year five.
Summits are a powerful way to create expert content, build authority, and generate real revenue—and HeySummit made it easy. After years of using it with consistent success, I can confidently recommend HeySummit to anyone thinking about running a virtual summit.
HeySummit is not a new app, this is a tried and tested platform that has hosted many successful events, including ours.
Grab it while it’s on AppSumo—you won’t regret it.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful and detailed review, and of course for those yummy tacos! It's fantastic to hear that you've been with us since 2019 and that it started you on your event journey. Not only that, but you've been creating successful, revenue-generating events since then.
We've been around for seven years now, but we still see this as the beginning of a huge journey in helping folks like you get the most out of online events, ticketing, revenue generation, and building that all important audience.
Thanks again for the kind words,
