Event Meet was founded in October 2019 as part of a module requirement at the University of Chester and became a registered company in January 2020 with one purpose; to change the way that people attend and experience events.
Have you ever had something that you were truly passionate about? A band or artist? A historical period or a fashion style? Musicals or theatre? Perhaps even a geeky brand or game? We know that we all have and we have all come across issues where our true passions are something that we have not been able to explore to their full potential as our usual circle of friends and family simply did not share the same passion and were not interested in it enough to attend an event with us.
Events, in our opinion, are a shared experience and a way to experience new and exciting hobbies, interests and passions. This should not be something that anyone should feel that they have to do alone if they do not want to, nor should it be something that they feel they have to miss out on.
This was the concept for Event Meet. Our purpose is to connect our members with their people - by this we mean to provide an easy way to communicate with others who love the same things as you do and a way to arrange to attend events as part of a group of others who are just as passionate about that event.
Our prototype website is a bare version of what we plan to offer, which is:
A full forum style communications area
Full profiles with filters to 'find your people'
Messaging system to arrange meeting up
A reviews system for events of every kind
Merchandising and event survival packs stores
Micro-influencer and brand ambassador platforms
Events organiser portals for advertising events
Volunteering and employment portals to advertise roles
Travel and accommodation solutions
We also plan to develop onto a mobile app to also include:
Fast chat with friends for instant messaging
Location pings for easier planning
Events near you function
Day planner/timetable/set list functionality
