EventPin is a map based event discovery app with no ads or algorithms putting the power of discovery back in your hands. Using the map and GPS services, you can pan and zoom an area on the map to reveal pins that represent events on the map. You can utilize the category, date and age filters to limit the visible events to only the ones you are interested in finding. Once you see all the events that meet your interest in an area, you can explore by clicking on pins or view the events in a paginated list view allowing you to easily determine the events you would like to attend. When you decide to attend, clicking the attend button will add it to your calendar and directions will navigate you to the event. Adding your event to EventPin is easy. Personal accounts receive a free credit every month while organizations and power users can purchase credits or subscribe (coming soon) to post unlimited events. What is an event? Anything that is in a physical place for a limited time. Garage sales, food trucks, fundraisers, car shows, live music, plays, movies, sporting events, etc. With many more features being developed regularly, you will want to make sure you get your events added to EventPin right away to help everyone find and attend your event.
