What DownToMeet is
DownToMeet is a web platform for creating, finding, and attending group events, with tools for organizers building communities around shared interests. Organizers can set RSVP questions, manage waitlists, send automatic notifications, take attendance, communicate with members, and run discussion boards. Members can add photos to event albums and interact with them through likes and comments. Groups and events can be customized with links, photos, fonts, and colors. Organizers can set groups to public, closed, or hidden, and events to public, closed, or private. The site says screen names are visible to other users, while real names and email addresses are not displayed publicly. Its privacy policy says those details are encrypted in the database and sensitive information is encrypted using SSL when entered or accessed. DownToMeet says it does not sell or rent email addresses, and that third-party vendors store site data. It works in a smartphone browser without an app. The free plan is ad-supported; annual paid plans cost $9.99 a year for groups of 1 to 100 members and $14.99 a year for groups larger than 100 members. The service is intended for users aged 18 or older.
