Hey Fighters,

First off, thank you to all our event organizers for using MeetFighters to create and host your events. Without your time and energy spent on hosting events, our event page would be empty and wouldn't need any improvement.

With that said, we're happy to announce the Event 2.0 Update on MeetFighters. This update overhauls our event hosting system to make organizing and joining events simpler and more enjoyable, with many new features requested by the community.

What’s New for our Events?

Most of these changes primarily affect event organizers, but we hope the visual updates are appreciated by all members, as they modernize the event page.

• Public & Private Events: You can now create both public and private events. Private events will require organizer approval for participants, giving you more control over who attends and can follow the conversation inside the event.
• Customizable Event Hub: The new Event Hub can be fully customized, letting you tailor it to fit your needs.
• Event Hub Widgets: Our new Event Hub supports multiple widgets, such as polls, guest books, free text areas, and dedicated picture widgets. These widgets can be colored to match the theme of MeetFighters, and the hub can be configured, including the order of information shown.
• Linked Chat Rooms: Each event now comes with a linked chat room within our main chat system. When enabled by the organizer, it is automatically added for all participants, making it easier to connect and plan. Alternatively, the existing quick chat can be used.
• Event Forums: A forum is added for each event, so participants can discuss everything in one place. This forum is only accessible to participants.
• Visual Overhaul: We’ve revamped the event pages to make them more appealing and easier to share on social media. Better mobile support has also been added when the event page is opened on mobile devices and smaller screens.
• More Detailed Participant Lists: The participant list now shows more member details, making it easier to see who’s coming.
• Mass Messaging Options: Organizers can now choose who to send mass messages to—everyone, confirmed attendees, or those still on the fence.
• Event Templates: Save time when creating a new event by copying details from a previous one as a template.
• Automatic Conversion: Events previously created are automatically converted into the new system. However, you may want to review and enable some of the new features, like linked chat rooms or adding more widgets to your Event Hub.
• Event Highlights: A random upcoming event is highlighted on our What's new? page.

We hope this update makes events on MeetFighters more useful, providing you with all the tools needed to manage your event in one place.

Ready to create your own event or explore what others have planned? Head over to our event section to get started!

We look forward to seeing your local events and the continuation of the upcoming Wrestlefest NYC, Wrestlefest CAN, and hopefully soon Wrestlefest EU for which we are offering our sponsorship again. Once again, we want to thank all organizers for managing and hosting these amazing events, no matter how small or large. Your efforts help keep our community active and connected.

Let us know in the comments below if we missed anything, have other ideas for improvement, or if you're just happy with these changes or the events.

Best regards,
MeetFighters

Update: 16th of November 2024

We released Event System 2.1, which includes some new features and updates:

Event 2.1 Update

• Event Attendees Tab Improvements:
  • Our comprehensive and loved advanced member search is now available in the attendees section of an event, making it easier to find and Meet Fighters at events.
  • Added a new sorting option type for attendees by enrollment date (for members who enroll after the 2.1 update).
  • Attendee types are now grouped, and you can collapse confirmed or uncertain participants to reduce scrolling.
• Event chat rooms now have a link in the menu to the related event page. The event page also shows the related chat rooms at the top, making the connection clearer.
• Event organizers now get a notification when a new member joins an event. This was previously only for private events.

New none-Event Feature: Reactions to Comments

• You can now react to comments with a thumbs up or other emojis.

We hope these updates make things easier for you. Let us know what you think!

Best Regards,
Admin
