Buzzable helps you create communities and host events.
The best way to get started is to create a community first, then create an event connected to that community.
This gives people a place to stay connected before and after the event. It also gives you an audience you can invite back when you host future events.
Why start with a community?
An event brings people together for a specific date and time.
A community gives those people a place to return.
When your event is connected to a community, attendees can become part of a group that continues after the event ends. This helps you avoid starting from scratch every time you host something new.
With a community, you can:
- Build an audience over time
- Invite members to future events
- Communicate with people before and after events
- Help members connect with each other
- Create a stronger long-term presence on Buzzable
For example, instead of creating a single event called Friday Networking Night, you could create a community called Bay Area Startup Networking and then host multiple networking events inside that community.
Recommended first steps
To get started on Buzzable:
- Create your community.
- Add your community name, description, logo, and banner image.
- Add social links so members can connect with you on other platforms.
- Create your first event.
- Connect the event to your community.
- Invite people to attend the event and join the community.
- Use the community to keep people engaged after the event.
Step 1: Create your community
Start by creating a community for the audience you want to build.
Your community should make it clear who it is for and what members can expect.
A good community includes:
- A clear name
- A useful description
- A banner image
- A logo
- Social links, if available
Your community can be based around a topic, location, organization, interest, activity, or recurring event series.
Examples:
- San Francisco Tech Meetups
- Austin Food Lovers
- Weekend Hiking Club
- Women in Product Events
- Local Music Nights

Step 2: Create an event for your community
After creating your community, create your first event.
Your event should be connected to the community so members can discover it and attendees can stay connected afterward.
When creating your event, add:
- Event title
- Date and time
- Location
- Description
- Event image
- Ticketing or registration details, if needed
- BuzzCodes or discounts, if available

Step 3: Invite people
Once your community and event are ready, invite people to participate.
You can invite people to:
- Join the community
- Attend the event
- Share the event with others
Inviting people into the community is important because it gives you a way to stay connected after the event. Even if someone cannot attend one event, they may be interested in a future one.

Step 4: Keep people engaged after the event
After your event, use your community to keep the connection going.
You can:
- Send updates
- Share follow-up messages
- Announce future events
- Invite attendees to join the community
- Encourage members to invite others
This is what makes Buzzable different from a one-time event listing. Your event can become the starting point for an active community.
Community first, event second
You can create an event by itself, but Buzzable works best when events are part of a community.
A community gives your audience a home. Events give that community something to do.
Together, they help you build momentum over time.
