Existing companies like Eventbrite, Whova, Eventmobi among others focus on helping people host and sell ticket for their events. They lack the sweet spot of involving the attendee in the process of the event, which by chance increase number of people attending the program. The systems failed to recognize a delightfulness termed “sense of belonging ” and “self actualization” which motivate a user to engage in certain activities because they feel they are welcome and they have values they can contribute to collective task for it success; in this case, planning event.

User can create event with few clicks. One of the things we thought thoroughly in creating event was how to attendee or people who have interest gets to see the post and how can host manage numbers of people who wants to attended the event.
When users are creating their event, we designed it in a way that they get a preview of how their event will be seen by any user.

Host can limit or decide numbers of attendees to be limitless. This is design to motivate people to quickly join and that’s why people can see others that have join. What we tried to do is to create sense of urgency and interest so that there won’t be lots of event creation and few people are interested.

How can host showcase their event to people with similar interest? This question brought up a lots of scenarios on how event awareness happens, but the scenarios revolve around these 3 factors.
They know who they want in the event
They need anyone interested
They have some people but need anyone interested to join.
Here host can share publicly, so any user that follow under the category of the post will the event.

To make the process seamless and straightforward, when the host has set attendee number to a certain figure let’s say 10 people, and the host choose to invite people directly, if the host tag only 6 out of 10 people, the system automatically will prompt a button to share to public as well so that the numbers of users they needed for the event can complete. This is very useful when people want to organize quick event like street soccer, and you need people to join in the event, you already have some people but need more people, just invite the people you know and share publicly.

The Itinerary will help host and moderator to quickly highlight items or information they find important and don’t want any users to miss.
To make this more accessible, once created the Itinerary sticks to the top to anyone can easily retrieve information from there. In summary, say no to arguing over what items is needed for an event because it will be on the itinerary.

We all know how group conversations can be, some information go deep while some are just one level, to make the experience better, users can easily convert a chat to thread, so every reply to that is under the thread. We leverage on the existing pattern that works; “double tap” chat to activate pop-up to sell actions from like add to itinerary, reply, delete and “make thread”.
We tired to be very granular in our thinking on how to create features that works in context of planning events.

One of the core deep delights in terms of self motivation is “relatedness” for users. This help users to have a better sense of belongingness. When a new member join the event chat group, older participants can send a welcome confetti to welcome them.

For a more detail system it is very important to designed for edge cases. Most of the time is where the sweet experience of product are seen properly.
One of the edge case in the product was; was if the host is share the event publicly and has unlimited numbers of attendee or even has limited numbers, how effective can the host review and approve users interest? Imagine 0ver 300 people are showing interest in your event, that’s lot of work to approve everyone one after the other. To make this complex activity easy, we designed button to “accept interested users automatically”.

The product is currently in its version 1, we basically focused on solving the core problem, there are lots we are working for the next version. We need more features to make planning more delightful and interesting, gamified some features to help me planning interesting, because the goal is give people ability to create for any situation.
