Founded by veteran technologist Zakir Hossain, MeetPure Events is a Tampa, Florida company that provides an ethical, AI‑first event‑management platform for faith‑based and community organizations. Unlike mainstream ticketing services that take a percentage of each sale, MeetPure charges no platform fees and relies only on optional attendee tips.
Features Tailored for Faith‑Based and Nonprofit Events
The platform combines AI‑assisted event creation, ticketing, RSVP management, mobile check‑in, team planning and live fundraising in a single workspace. Organizers can upload a flyer or plain‑text description and receive a complete event page in minutes, complete with dates, speakers, agenda and ticket tiers.
On the day of an event, dedicated iOS and Android check‑in apps handle QR scanning and real‑time attendance, while role‑based staff access protects attendee data and finances. A built‑in planner helps teams coordinate tasks, and a live fundraising toolkit offers real‑time pledge tracking, tiered giving and automatic tax‑deductible receipts.
Adoption by Leading Faith Organizations
Since its launch, MeetPure Events has processed roughly $1.8 million in gross ticketing and fundraising volume for groups such as the Miftaah Institute, the North American Bangladeshi Islamic Community (NABIC), Memphis Islamic Center, MUNA (Muslim Ummah of North America) and BITNA. Organizers keep every dollar raised, minus standard payment‑processor fees.
In a recent Net Promoter Score survey of nearly 200 users, 87 % responded as promoters, giving the platform an NPS of 82. “The platform is simple, user‑friendly, and highly flexible,” said Mainul Haque of NABIC’s annual convention. Miftaah Institute praised the rapid improvements and seamless, co‑branded checkout experience.
Why a Zero‑Fee Model Matters
Many so‑called “free” ticketing services recover costs through hidden service charges or default tip prompts that can add double‑digit percentages to a ticket price. MeetPure Events eliminates those hidden costs, passing only transparent payment‑processing fees through to organizers.
Hossain, who spent more than two decades in technology—including a senior engineering role at IBM—said the platform was born from a need he observed in the community: “Leaders were forced onto platforms that conflicted with our values, exposing families and children to unwanted influences. MeetPure ensures we never have to make that trade‑off again.”
