PVBLIC Events is your pass wallet for invite-only events hosted by the PVBLIC Foundation. Open the invite you were sent and your pass appears on this iPhone — no account, no password. At the door, hold up a rotating, device-bound QR code. While it is on screen the app raises brightness and keeps the display awake so scanners can read it. After you have opened a pass once, the code still rotates in airplane mode. What you can do: • See events happening now and what is coming next • RSVP, view the agenda, and get directions in Maps • Message event staff, and share your location if you need to be found on a large site • Get notifications for starting-soon and event updates
