An unforgettable experience—a soul-stirring concert, a mind-expanding workshop, or a vibrant food festival—is powerful on its own. But what truly transforms a great event into a cherished memory? Sharing it with the people who matter most. For too long, the journey of event discovery has been a solo mission. You find the perfect event, and then begin the clunky, multi-app process of sharing links, coordinating in chats, and hoping everyone is on the same page.
At AllEvents, we believe that the joy of discovery should be seamlessly connected to the joy of community. That’s why we are thrilled to unveil a cornerstone of our redesigned platform experience: the enhanced ‘Find Friends’ feature. This isn’t just an update; it’s a fundamental shift in how you connect with both events and your social circle. We’re transforming AllEvents from your go-to discovery tool into your central social hub for creating shared experiences.
Redefining Event Discovery: From a ‘Me’ to a ‘We’ Activity
The traditional model of an event platform is transactional: you search, you find, you book. We saw an opportunity to make it relational. Our core philosophy is that user experience extends beyond our app’s interface; it blossoms in the real world, through the connections our platform facilitates. The ‘Find Friends’ feature was engineered to dissolve the friction between individual discovery and group planning.
This evolution is a direct response to a simple human truth: we are social creatures. We build our best memories together. By integrating social connectivity directly into the discovery process, we are empowering our users to move beyond simply finding things to do and toward actively building a more eventful, happening life with their friends. It’s about turning the question of “What am I doing this weekend?” into “What are we doing this weekend?” without ever leaving the AllEvents ecosystem.
Your Social Circle, Reimagined: How ‘Find Friends’ Works Its Magic
We have meticulously designed this feature to be intuitive, powerful, and centered entirely on enhancing your social life. It’s your personal event network, built to ensure you never miss out on an opportunity to connect.
- Effortless Connection: Sync and Follow The first step to building your event squad is finding them. By giving permission, you can securely sync your contacts in a single tap to instantly find and follow friends who are already on AllEvents as well as invite your friends who are not on the app. This simple action transforms your feed from a list of events into a living landscape of possibilities, influenced and enriched by the people you trust.
- Seamless Planning: Integrated Chat & Share Found the perfect stand-up comedy show that’s right up your best friend’s alley? You can now share it with them instantly and start a one-on-one chat about it, right here on AllEvents. No more juggling apps or sending stray links to get their opinion. From discovery to decision, your planning conversation stays in one convenient, interactive space. It’s the easiest way to coordinate with a friend and turn a great find into a definite plan, making sure you’re both ready for the experience.
- Stay in the Loop: The End of FOMO This is where the magic truly happens. Once you’re connected, you’ll receive notifications when a friend plans to attend an event. Imagine discovering an indie music gig you would have otherwise missed, simply because your friend expressed interest. This feature introduces a powerful element of social serendipity, ensuring you’re always aware of what your circle is up to. It’s the ultimate cure for the fear of missing out.
More Than a Feature — A Commitment to Shared Experiences
The ‘Find Friends’ feature is a benchmark of us being the best event discovery platform out there. We are curators of experiences, and this feature is designed to help you co-curate your life with your friends.
Think about planning for a major cultural event like Navratri or a city-wide festival. Instead of a chaotic group chat, you can see which Dandiya nights your friends are attending, share options, and make plans in a structured, event-focused environment. See a colleague attending a marketing workshop you were considering? It’s the perfect conversation starter. Receive a notification that two friends are going to a new cafe’s launch event this weekend? Now you have a spontaneous plan.
By placing your social graph at the heart of event discovery, we are creating a trusted, dynamic, and deeply personal platform. It’s a space where your community’s collective interests help you discover your next great adventure.

AllEvents is evolving. We are building a platform that understands not just what you want to do, but who you want to do it with. The ‘Find Friends’ feature is your new social compass, designed to point you toward shared laughter, collective learning, and unforgettable moments.
