No — and if you use Craftybase for raw materials and COGS recipes, keep it. MakerEventsOS manages your events: applications, costs, packing, sales-per-show, and whether each show earned its spot next year.

Founding members also get a private community for vendor-to-vendor questions — the fastest answers often come from someone who did the same show last year.
