For attendees

Make the first hello easier.

Two attendees at an event, both looking at their phones
1 At the same event

See who’s at the event on the Social Grid.

Only once attendees are at the event can they see one another on the Social Grid, and every account is a verified person, checked by a selfie.

One attendee sends a Tag and the other accepts it
2 Send a Tag

Send a Tag before the other person leaves the event.

Once someone leaves the event, you can no longer connect with them. An accepted Tag opens a private chat.

Questions

How is bubbltag different from Eventbrite or Luma?

They get people through the door. bubbltag also helps people meet once they’re inside the event, and keeps them chatting, posting and reconnecting on bubbltag long after the event ends.

Who can host?

Anyone, for any reason. Bring people together and give them a way to meet someone new.

Is it really free?

Yes. Always 100% free for hosts, and founding hosts’ attendees pay no booking fee at all, ever. If the host isn’t a founding host, paid tickets carry a small booking fee, always inside the price attendees see: a £20 ticket costs £20.87, whereas on Eventbrite it would cost almost £22. Free events are free to attend, obviously. Payments are handled securely by Stripe.

Is bubbltag a dating app?

No. It’s for every kind of connection: professional, social, spontaneous, or simply curious.
