Find events

Explore is where you discover what’s on. It has three tabs: Events, Venues and Groups. You can browse it without signing in.

Search for events

1. Open Explore and make sure the Events tab is selected.
2. Choose the search button (magnifying glass).
3. Type what you’re looking for in Search events and neighbourhoods…, such as “jazz”, “running club” or “De Pijp”.
4. Optionally choose a City. Suggestions appear as you type.
5. Choose Search.

Results load as you scroll. When you reach “No more events to show”, you’ve seen everything that matches. Events that have already finished aren’t shown.

Filter by category

Choose the filter button (sliders) and pick one or more categories, such as Music, Tech, Food & Drink, Sports or Language. A dot on the filter button means a filter is active. Choose a category again to remove it.

Use the map

Switch between list and map with the toggle next to the filter button. The map shows where each event takes place. Online events have no pin.

Events listed from other websites

Some events in Explore are listed from other websites, such as a venue’s own site or another ticketing platform. Their cards say Listed on followed by the source. For these events:

• Registration and tickets are handled by the original site. Choose View on the source to register there.
• Choose Interested to save the event to My Events and your personal calendar. GatherEasy reminds you that you still need to register on the original site.
• Choose You’re interested again to remove it.

Submit an event you found elsewhere

If you know of an event that isn’t on GatherEasy yet, you can add it to Explore so others can find it. You need to be signed in.

1. In Explore → Events, choose + Submit.
2. Paste an HTTPS link to the event’s original page on any website and choose Continue.
3. GatherEasy reads the page. This can take a minute or two, so keep the dialog open.
4. Check the details it found: Title, Starts, Ends, Location, Organiser, Price and Description. Correct anything that’s wrong. If the page doesn’t list a price, it defaults to Free.
5. Choose Submit event.

The event is added to Explore straight away. If it’s already on GatherEasy, you’re shown the existing event instead. Events you submit are counted on your profile.

Find groups

The Groups tab in Explore lists groups you can join. Use the search button to find a group by name. See Join and take part in groups.

Open an event

Choose any event card to open its event page. There you’ll find the date and time, location and map, hosts, description, agenda, who’s going and how to register. The time is shown in the event’s time zone. If your device is in a different time zone, both are shown.

Next: Register for an event.
