What you get

Everything a term of events needs.

Free distribution

Your events reach students who opened the app to find something to go to — including ones who have never heard of you.

Sign-ups handled

Capacity, an automatic waitlist, and members-only events, without building a form.

Who actually came

Door-code check-in, and an attendee list you can export with names, emails and who turned up.

Your whole committee

Admin access for everyone who runs events, so it isn't stuck on one person's account.

A link anyone can sign up from

Every event gets a short link. Put it in your Instagram bio, your Linktree or a group chat — people sign up on the web in about twenty seconds, with no app and no LSE email. Friends of members and students from other universities can come too.

A page people follow

Your society page carries your description, your Instagram and your students' union link.

Getting listed

Three steps, about ten minutes.

01

Register in the app

Societies tab, then "Register your society". Name, description, logo, category, your committee role, and your Instagram or SU page so we can check you're real.

02

We approve it

We look at the links, approve the society, and you become its first admin. You add the rest of the committee yourself.

03

Post your first event

From the Host tab. It appears for everyone following you, and everyone browsing what's on.

Committee questions

What you'll want to know first.

Do we have to stop posting on Instagram?

No. Keep doing exactly what you're doing. This is an additional place your events live, one that doesn't expire and that reaches students who don't follow you yet.

What does it cost?

Nothing.

Can people outside LSE come?

Yes, for open events. Share the event's link and anyone can sign up from the web page with their name and email — they don't need an LSE address or the app.

Who on committee can post?

Whoever you want. Admin access covers the whole committee, so it isn't stuck on one person's phone when they're in a lecture.

What happens at handover?

The society page belongs to the society, not to whoever set it up. You pass admin access on the way you pass everything else, and the events stay attached to the page.

What do you do with our sign-ups?

They're yours. We use them to run the event and to show students what's on, and guests' details are erased ninety days after the event. We don't sell them and we don't pass them on.
