Do you often think about the best ways to engage your community? Try Meetups – a new Webricks CMS feature developed by App Impact.

With Meetups, organizations can create and schedule a meetup or a small event. This feature enables Webricks system administrators to control all activities related to organizing a small event - from event registrations, agenda creation to managing speaker profiles. Meetups are publicly visible events with a sign-up option and are fully integrated into your Webricks CMS portal. 

Learn more about the Meetups functionalities that help to plan and organize small events effectively:

• Create an online or live event

Nowadays, everyone is excited about welcoming back people to the events they are organizing. However, organizations are also adapting their practices to host safe, comfortable events to respect the measures for preventing COVID-19. 

With Meetups, hosts can choose between organizing an online or live event, depending on how they plan to reach their audience. 

Even if you announce a live event, but the situation changes, you are free to adjust the information toward organizing an online event. 

• Set the registration approval mode

Are you organizing an event where everyone can join, or do you want to choose your audience carefully? With Meetups, the event host decides about the registration flow.

Choose automatic approval mode to accept registrations automatically, or choose manual mode to review and accept each registration before granting access to your event. 

• Define the capacity to ensure better logistics

By setting the capacity, organizations can efficiently plan important logistic details such as space, catering, gift bags, and other information related to the event.

• Advertise your speakers effectively

Speakers are an indispensable part of meetups. Webricks administrators can manage information about speakers through their speaker profiles and use that information as a starting point for your event promotion.

• Get insights into the number of registrations and plan your activities accordingly

The system enables an overview of registered participants in real-time, making it easy for organizers to track the number of participants. According to the frequency of registrations, organizers can plan their marketing activities to boost interest, promote the event, and grow the base of participants. On the other side, administrators have information about uncompleted registrations, and they can contact participants to help them finalize the process.

• Share the knowledge and build a knowledge base

Whether organizing online or live events, meetups hosts can provide supporting materials such as a recording URL or live streaming URL and enable registered users to access the link. This way, knowledge sharing has no boundaries. Registered users can download the recording and access helpful information or rewatch a session at their own pace.

Last but not least, with Webricks Meetups, you are building a community of participants that can become your future clients, attendants at the next event, or even business partners.
