Event community platform
An event community platform gives attendees their own topic spaces, or event forums, to post, reply and meet before, during and after the event. Eventify works as a community events platform inside your event: each community is a Post, Group, Ice Breaker, Job or Meetup space in the event app and the web portal.
Event Community Platform With Forums For Every Topic
Create as many communities as your event needs. Make each one public or private, decide who can post, and approve posts before they appear. Attendees follow topics, reply in threads and introduce themselves through ice breaker questions.

Five Community Types For Every Event Forum
Pick a type per community, so every space works the way its topic needs.
- Post. Topic posts with a title and details that others follow, like and comment on.
- Group. Members reply to topics the admin starts, chat style, with files attached.
- Ice Breaker. Attendees introduce themselves by answering your questions.
- Job. Job posts with an Apply button; applicants become a lead list or go to an external URL.
- Meetup. Attendees plan in-person or virtual meetups, and others RSVP.
- Choose once. The type is fixed after saving, while the name and icon stay editable, as the community feature guide explains.

Add as many communities as your event needs, of any type.
Where this fits. Communities are topic spaces inside your event. The one open wall for everyone is the social feed, and private conversations happen in chat and meetings. Looking for Eventify's own forum for event professionals? That is our community.
Public and private communities
Public, Private Or Members Only
Two independent settings decide who can join and who can read.
- Public. Any attendee joins instantly.
- Private. Attendees click Request to Join, and you approve or reject on the Members tab.
- Restrict to Members Only. Non-members see the community name, never the posts.
- Add people directly. Add Member finds attendees by name or email, or pick whole user groups.
- Four member lists. Accepted, Requested, Removed and Left; Remove and Reinstate take effect at once.
- Who may post. Untick Enable User Posting or Enable Commenting and only admins post or comment there.

Ice Breaker Questions That Start Conversations
A low-pressure way for attendees to introduce themselves before they meet.
- Your questions, 3 to 10. At least 3 make the Ice Breaker live; only admins add questions.
- A colour per question. Each question card gets its own background colour in the app.
- Prompted on the first visit. The introduction form opens by itself, and each attendee posts one introduction.
- Browse, then connect. Attendees read each other's answers, one card per person, and tap to connect or start a conversation.
- Need question ideas? Borrow from these icebreaker games, then follow the ice breaker setup guide.

An Online Community For Events
Threads, hashtags and follows, with the same communities and actions in the Eventify event app and the web portal.
- Follow what matters. A first-visit popup suggests public communities, and a red New badge counts unseen posts.
- Room to explain. Post titles up to 100 characters, details up to 2,000.
- Threaded replies. Reply to a specific message from the app and it sits under the original.
- Mentions and hashtags. Type @ to mention someone or # to tag a topic, and attach an image to a comment.
- Sort and filter. Most Liked, Most Commented, Trending or by tag, plus an Activities tab of everything you engaged with.
- Meetups and jobs. RSVP turns into You're Going, and job posts carry an Apply for this Job button (attendee guide).

Community moderation
Moderate Posts Before They Go Live
Moderation is set per community, with one queue for new posts and another for reports.
- Off until you need it. Switch moderation on for a community and its new posts wait in Pending Approvals.
- One queue. Filter by Social Post, Gallery Post or Community Post, then approve or delete one by one or in bulk.
- Reported Contents. Attendees can report posts and comments, and reported posts land in their own tab.
- Suggested hashtags. Manage Hashtags sets the tags attendees are offered when they post.
- Consent first. Attendees post, comment and react only after switching networking on in the Networking & GDPR Consent dialog.
Step by step: moderate community posts and reported content.
Community analytics
Count Every Post, Export Every Thread
Counts at a glance in the Community list, and the full conversation in one file.
- Counts without opening anything. The Community list shows post and comment counts for every community.
- One export. Analytics, Social Feed, CSV Export downloads an Excel (XLSX) file.
- Four sheets. Posts, Replies, Nested Replies and Metadata, with author and timestamp on each post.
- Filter by community. The Metadata sheet carries community names and IDs (export guide).
- Job leads. On a job set to Collect as Leads, the poster exports the applicant list.

Organisers Who Use Communities To Break The Ice
Two events where community spaces got attendees talking.
Antonio Bortolotti, Vacation Rental World Summit
At this 750-attendee summit, four default community topics, including a job posting board, were ready from day one. Antonio called them "very useful".

Desmond Ong, ASEAN Energy Business Forum 2025
His team used the community feature and social wall as deliberate ice breakers for delegates who would not approach strangers.

FAQs
Event Community Platform Questions, Answered
What is an event community platform?
An event community platform gives attendees topic spaces, often called event forums, where they post, reply and meet before, during and after an event. In Eventify these are communities inside your event app and web portal. Running a members' group with recurring meetups instead? See community meetup software.
What is a community forum at an event?
A community forum is a topic space in the event app where attendees post questions or ideas and others reply, like and follow the thread. In Eventify, Post communities hold topic posts with a title and details, and Group communities let members reply to topics the admin starts (what attendees see).
How is a community different from the social feed?
The social feed is one open wall where every attendee shares photos, videos and polls. Communities are separate topic spaces, each with its own type, visibility and posting rules.
What types of community can I create?
Post, Group, Ice Breaker, Job and Meetup. There is no fixed limit on how many communities you create, but a community's type cannot be changed after you save it.
Can attendees post jobs or organise meetups?
Yes, in Job and Meetup communities where you allow attendee posting. A meetup is in-person or virtual, with a date, time and a location or meeting link, and others RSVP. A job post has a title, type, location and description, and applications are collected as leads or sent to an external URL.
Can the community stay open before and after the event?
Yes. Eventify communities are meant for use before, during and after your event, so attendees can answer ice breaker questions ahead of time and keep talking once it ends (how communities work).
How do private communities work?
Attendees click Request to Join, and you approve or reject them on the Members tab, or add them directly with Add Member. Turn on Restrict to Members Only to hide the posts from anyone who is not a member.
Can I restrict a community to speakers, sponsors or VIPs?
Yes. Make the community Private, add the matching user group, such as Speakers or Sponsors, under View/Manage Users, and turn on Restrict to Members Only so nobody else can read the posts (who can post and join).
Can I approve posts before attendees see them?
Yes. Turn on moderation for a community and its new posts wait in Pending Approvals until you approve or delete them, one at a time or in bulk. Reported posts appear in Reported Contents, where you choose Keep or Delete.
How do attendees report a post?
They open the menu on someone else's post, choose Report Post and confirm, and the post disappears from their view. Comments are reported the same way, and reported posts land in Reported Contents for you to keep or delete (moderation guide).
Do attendees need the mobile app to join?
No. Communities work in the Eventify app and in the web portal. Attendees need networking switched on to post, comment, react or RSVP.
Can I see which communities are most active?
Yes. The Community list in the admin panel shows post and comment counts for every community, so you can spot the busy ones without opening them (community analytics). Inside a community, attendees can sort posts by Trending, Most Liked or Most Commented.
Can I export community posts?
Yes. Go to Analytics, Social Feed and click CSV Export. The file downloads as XLSX with four sheets: Posts, Replies, Nested Replies and Metadata.
Which Eventify plans include the event community?
Event Community / Forum is listed on the Advance and Ultimate plans on the pricing page. Plans start at US$999 per event; there is no free plan, but you can request a free trial.
