For events at a place

Let the neighbourhood in on what happens at your place.

A trio in the courtyard or a tasting at the counter. The event sits on your page and, in its week, under What's on for people nearby, and the people who come can leave a few words in its thread.

How it works

An event, start to finish.

An event belongs to a place or a group. It shows up for people nearby once you publish it.

1

Pick the place or group

Choose where it happens and who hosts it.

2

Set the time

Date, start and end, and a few lines on what to expect. Add a cover photo if you have one.

3

Publish

People nearby can see it and say I'm in, and the event keeps count.

4

On the day

It gets a Today tag with its start time, so it stands out in What's on. Once it is over, it drops out of the feed.

A Saturday, as an example

How a courtyard concert might use it.

Imagine a café with a back courtyard that hosts a trio once a month. The event has a cover photo, the time and one line about what to bring. Neighbours two streets away see it that week without following the café, and on the day it gets a Today tag. The count of I'm in tells the café how many benches to put out, and during the evening guests leave a line or two in the thread.

This is an illustration, not a result.

From a desk

Plan ahead from a laptop.

You can add and publish events in the app and in the web console. The console helps when you plan a whole month at a desk and want a keyboard.

Where this is going

Not there yet, on our list.

Some of these may not be available yet. We list them so you know the direction, and we are not putting a date on any of them.

Coming

Events that repeat

The Saturday flea market, entered once for the whole season. People see the next market coming up, and last week's is gone.

Coming

A waiting list

When an event is full, the next person in line gets the seat that frees up, and you do not have to juggle messages.

Coming

Photos from the evening

Guests add photos to the event's thread, next to what they wrote, and you decide whether an event takes photos at all.

Coming

A link and a QR code

One link for your window, your poster and your newsletter. It opens the event in the app, and anyone without the app sees a short preview.

Coming

Word when plans change

If you move or cancel an event, everyone who said I'm in is told, so nobody stands outside a closed door.

Before you plan around it

What snakken does not do for your event.

No tickets, no payments

If you sell tickets, carry on with the shop you use now. Payments are not part of snakken, and we have not decided whether or how they would be.

No paid reach

Nearer and newer events sit higher. An event reaches the people around it, and nobody can pay to reach people further away or to pick who sees it.

No customer lists

You get a number for each event. Who is behind it, and how to reach them, stays private.

Questions from people who run events.

Who can add an event at my venue?

Anyone can add an event at your venue under their own name. Events in the venue's name come from you, once we have checked that the place is yours, or from a manager in your organisation. A band can also start a group and add its dates there. Those dates sit on the band's group, not on your page.

Can I list a whole season?

Each date is its own event for now. A series you enter once is on our list.

Where does my event show up?

In the feed of people in the area around it, and under What's on in the week it happens.

Do I need a place to host an event?

You need one or the other, a place or a group. A market on a square can be a place of its own, and a regular run usually belongs to a group.

Can I sell tickets through snakken?

No. An I'm in only says someone plans to come, so keep your ticket shop where it is.

What does it cost?

We have not settled on pricing, so there is no price list yet. If you are budgeting for a season of events, write and we will tell you what we know.
