EventMe Platform Guide

01

Discovering Events

Browse what's happening across the continent, filter down to what matters to you, and lock in your spot.

Browsing & filtering

The homepage grid shows every live event, filterable by category (music, arts, sports, fashion, tech, film, comedy, literature, business), country, city, and date range. Category pills sit in a horizontal strip above the grid — tap one to narrow the feed instantly.

The event detail page

Opening a card takes you to a full detail view: cover image, description, attendee advice from the organizer, ticket tiers, and — if the organiser has verified their account — a checkmark next to their name.

RSVP & attendance

Tap Attend to join the guest list. If the event has a capacity limit and it's full, you're placed on a waitlist and automatically promoted if a spot opens up.

Save for later

Bookmark events you're considering — they collect in your saved list so you don't lose track of them in a busy feed.

Reviews

After attending, leave a star rating and comment. Reviews are visible to future attendees on the event page.

Follow organisers

Follow an organiser or talent to keep tabs on what they publish next, without needing to search for them again.

New: share your attendance. After you RSVP, you'll see a one-tap prompt to share that you're going as a community post — with a photo and a link straight back to the event. It's entirely optional and only asks once per event.

02

The Community

A feed built specifically for the events world — part conversation, part discovery — where attendees, organisers and talent post, react, and talk to each other.

Posting

Posts can be a photo, a short caption, a poll (2–4 options), or a mix. Longer posts collapse behind a "See more" toggle so the feed stays scannable. Use @name while typing a caption or comment to mention someone directly — they'll be notified.

Reactions & comments

Four reaction types — ❤️ Love, 🔥 Fire, 👏 Clap, 🎉 Wow — replace a plain like button, so your response carries more nuance. Comments support threaded replies, editing, and likes of their own.

Trending & search

Hashtags used in the last 200 posts surface as trending pills in the sidebar and as quick-filter chips above the feed. A collapsible search bar lets you find a specific post by keyword, and a Popular / Latest toggle switches the feed's sort order.

Panel	What it's for
Left sidebar	Community identity, quick nav (Home, Events, People), and the primary "Post" button.
Right sidebar	Community stats (posts, members, reach), trending topics, and community guidelines.
Saved posts	Anything you've bookmarked from the feed, filterable via the saved toggle.

The Community section always renders on a light, LinkedIn-style background regardless of your site theme choice — it's a deliberate design decision to give the feed its own distinct identity, separate from the rest of the dark-by-default platform.

03

People & Messages

Build your network across the platform, and message people directly once you're connected.

The People directory

Browse every member as a card — photo, name, country, occupation. Filter by country or search by name. Sending a link request notifies the other person; once accepted, you're mutually connected and can message each other.

Link requests

Pending requests get their own tab in the People panel, with clear Accept / Decline actions. You'll never be double-notified about the same request.

Direct messages

Once linked, open a conversation from their profile or the message inbox. The inbox lists every active thread with a preview of the last message and an unread indicator; opening a thread shows the full back-and-forth with a composer at the bottom.

04

Talent Profiles

A profile that works like a resume for performers, speakers and creatives — plus a path to recognition through nominations and awards.

Building your profile

Bio, photo, and social links
Skills (up to 6, added one at a time)
Work experience, education, and certificates — each with its own card in a running timeline
A completeness indicator nudges you toward filling in what's missing

Nominations & Awards

Anyone can nominate a talent for a category — nominations go to admin review before appearing publicly. Approved nominees appear on the Awards page, where the community can browse by category.

Booking requests

Organisers can send a booking request directly from a talent's profile, describing the event and what they need. The talent receives it as a notification and can respond from their inbox.

05

Publishing an Event

Organiser access

The publish form walks through six clearly labeled sections, with a review step before anything goes live.

1

Basics & Location & Schedule

Title, category, country, city, venue, date and start time. A sticky section nav at the top lets you jump straight to any part of the form.

2

Tickets & Links

Add one or more price tiers (or mark the event free), plus an optional ticket/RSVP link — the platform detects and badges the ticketing service automatically.

3

Description & Details

A description, attendee advice, featured performer/speaker details, audience type, and vibe — all optional except the description itself.

4

Cover image

Drag and drop or click to upload — landscape, at least 1200×700px. This is required: a live event without one won't publish.

5

Contact & Duration

Optional phone/email/website, and how long the event stays in the live feed before moving to past events.

6

Review before publishing

A summary card shows exactly what will go live — cover, title, location, date, description, price. Confirm to publish, or go back and adjust anything.

If a required field is left empty, it's highlighted directly on the form and the page scrolls to the first one — you'll never have to hunt for what's missing.

06

Businesses & Advertising

A dedicated spotlight for brands and sponsors alongside the events they're connected to.

Business Spotlight

Submit a business profile — logo, description, links — for admin review. Once verified, it appears in the Business Spotlight section on the homepage.

Boosting an event

Verified businesses can request a "Sponsored" boost on an event, which admin reviews within 24 hours. Approved boosts get a visible sponsor tag on the event card, giving it extra prominence in the feed.

07

Admin Tools

Admin access

Moderation, approvals, and a full analytics dashboard for keeping the platform healthy.

Tab	What it covers
Pending	Suggested events and nominations awaiting approval or rejection.
Moderation	Flagged content, violation history per user, and ban/unban controls.
Businesses	Business profile verification and boost-request approvals.
Analytics	Page views, sign-ups, publishes, engagement funnel, top events and countries, and an AI-generated insights summary — with date-range filtering and CSV export.

08

Account & Theme

EventMe runs dark by default, with a full light theme available from the same toggle.

Switch themes from the icon in the header — your choice is saved and applied instantly, everywhere except the Community feed, which keeps its own light identity by design. Every form field, focus ring, and status color across the platform is built to stay legible and accessible in both modes.

Every interactive element — buttons, form fields, cards — shows a visible focus outline when navigated by keyboard, and text throughout the platform meets WCAG AA contrast in both themes.
