PocketPlatform Events

PocketPlatform gets your event information in people's hands and empowers them to take action when something catches their eye!

Users have the option to view featured events or see events on a calendar. If you have a lot of events, users can filter by Campus or Ministry.

With PocketPlatform events, user can:

  • View the event date and time.
  • View the event description.
  • Send a message to the event's primary contact.
  • Register, if the event is configured for registration.

Filtering Events to Show

Contact Support if you'd like to filter the Events screen by Event Type, Location, Ministry, or Month.
