How often do you find yourself asking “what is there to do in this city?” The next time you ask yourself this question, log onto EventGrabber to find the answer.

EventGrabber is a site that aggregates a list of local event options for you based on your personality, making it easy and convenient to find something to do in your town. The site also provides event hosts with marketing tools to advertise events and sell tickets to members on the site and social media platforms.

The EventGrabber team finds and grabs most events from Facebook, and then from local radio stations, online newspapers and magazines and other external sources. The events are organized into six main categories – live entertainment, cultural, nightlife, professionals, sports, and kids & family. Users can search for local events by category, location or personal interest.

Although anyone can search for events on the site, users can sign up to be an EventGrabber member or sign in with their Facebook account to view a list of events that match their personality. Once you log in several questions regarding your personality will be presented to you, such as the music you like, your age demographic and the type of events you enjoy. The site will curate a list of local events for you based on your answers.

Detailed information about an event, including time, date, price, location, summary, reviews and ratings, can be found on the back of each event display. Users can even purchase tickets to an event directly on the site.

After attending an event, you can rate your experience or write a review to help future users plan their next event.

The “My Eventwall” feature helps you easily organize and plan your personal event calendar by displaying all of your events and categorizing them by date. EventGrabber even integrates social media tools, giving you the option to share your events with your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter or your own website.

The site provides a way for event hosts to target their audience based on location and interests. Hosts can use the “Event Manager” feature to post and edit events and sell tickets directly on the site to increase sales. They can also manage premium events through the Showcase Creator feature which integrates events onto Facebook.

EventGrabber earns a 2.3% fee and an additional 99 cents for every ticket sold on the site.

“EventGrabber is a platform that provides seemless integration where you can promote your events and sync them with social media and your own personal website,” says TK Walker, CEO of EventGrabber. “The site saves you money and saves you time because you can manage all of your events on one platform.”

Founded in May, EventGrabber is self-funded and has approximately 3,700 users each day.
