Host an event

Bring an event to your community

You bring the room and the people. We handle the registration, the review, the matching and the night itself.

What we handle

  • Registration. An application form built for your event, on this site, with your event’s own page.
  • Review. Every application read individually, against the criteria you and we agree.
  • Matching. Compatibility matching on age, location, practice, education, profession and stated preferences, run once registration closes.
  • Invitations. Acceptances, joining details and reminders sent out on schedule.
  • The evening itself. Check-in, the structure of the introductions, and running the session on the night.

What we need from you

  • A venue – or a decision to run the event online.
  • A date, and a registration window that closes far enough ahead for matching to run.
  • Reach into the community you want to serve: your mailing list, your mosque, your organisation.
  • A named contact who can make decisions on the day.

Guardians

One guardian may accompany each female guest, waiting in a separate lounge with refreshments and joining at the end. If you host with us, plan for that second room – it is the arrangement every one of our events runs.

Who this suits

Mosques and Islamic centres, community and cultural associations, university Islamic societies, and professional or alumni networks.

Events grouped by a shared background tend to work better than open ones, because the people meeting already have something in common before they sit down. That is why ours are grouped the way they are.

Online or in person

Both work. An online event removes the venue, the travel and the room capacity, and keeps the review and the matching exactly as they are. For a community spread across several cities it is often the better choice.

How the conversation usually goes

  1. You tell usWho your community is, roughly how many people you expect, and when you would like to run.
  2. We come backWith what is realistic for that size and timeline, and what it would involve.
  3. We agreeThe date, the registration window and the criteria for who is accepted.
  4. It goes liveYour event page is published and registration opens.

If you want to see the whole process from a guest’s side first, it is written out on the about page.

Tell us about your community

Who they are, roughly how many, and when. That is enough to start – we will come back with what is realistic.
