Made by Makeshift* in London, Attending.io is a simple events platform built for startups who use events as an audience development tool. It’s great for attendees too because it lets you see everyone who’s coming and let’s you follow them on Twitter, right on the event page.

Last week, Attending.io relaunched with a focus on free events just in time for the biggest collection of free events in the tech calendar – SXSW.

In order to draw attention to the new event platform, Attending has launched a little competition – every week for the next four weeks running up to SXSW they’re giving one SXSW event host $500 in sponsorship to help with hospitality, catering or whatever you need to make your event more amazing.
