What you can do
- Publish public events — title, place, date and time, a description and a poster. People using orbiTome in the area see them in the «In town» view, not just the people who have you as a contact; on the map, the pin is your organisation's logo.
- Have a page for your organisation on the website — orbitome.com/org/…, with name, logo, description and upcoming events. Anyone can open it, even without the app, and you can share it wherever you like.
- Manage places — if they are limited, once the event is full new “I'm in” replies go on a waiting list and move up if someone drops out.
- Give the practical details — accessible, free entry, kids welcome, dogs welcome: people can filter events this way.
- Work as a team — up to three co-managers, picked from your contacts who use orbiTome, publish for your organisation; up to 20 places stay saved, ready when you create an event.
How to request verification
- 1Download orbiTome and open Profile: in the «Your orbiTome» section, tap «Organisations and businesses».
- 2Under «I also use orbiTome as», choose «Public body» or «Nonprofit association» and fill in the profile: name, logo, description, location and, if you have them, email or certified email and registry number.
- 3Tap «Save and send for review». We check every request by hand: until it is approved, the page is not online and you cannot publish public events. Then «Verified ✓» appears next to the name.
- 4When you create an event, choose your organisation under «Post as».
One request can be sent per day; if it is not accepted, you can send it again after 30 days. If you change the name or the type, the check starts again. The rest of the app does not change: your personal profile, your contacts and your events with friends stay where they are.
What people nearby see
People using orbiTome near you find the event in the «In town» view, with your organisation's logo as the pin. When they tap it, they see:
- your organisation's name with «Verified ✓» and the poster;
- day, time and place;
- the practical details you chose;
- how many people will attend and how many of their contacts, always as a number;
- the “I'm in” button and, if there are no places left, the waiting list.
People without the app open your organisation's page on the website and see the upcoming events; to reply “I'm in”, they download the app, which is free.
The event's QR code
Every event has its own QR code: you find it in the More menu on the event card, under «QR code». Show it from your phone or print it: whoever scans it with the camera opens the event and can reply “I'm in”.
People who take part stay anonymous
You, like everyone else, see how many people said “I'm in”, never who they are: no names, no photos. People using the app also see how many of their own contacts will be there, always as a number.
What we do not do
- No ads, either for you or for people using the app.
- No notifications: publishing an event sends no notifications to anyone; people find it when they open the map.
- No promises of visibility: public events live in the «In town» view, which each person opens when they want; the map of events among friends stays among friends.
- Events do not stay online forever: they expire on their own, like every orbiTome event, and soon after they disappear from the cloud too.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost for a public body or an association?
For public bodies and non-profit associations, publishing events on orbiTome is free.
Who can sign up as an organisation?
Public bodies and non-profit associations: community and tourist associations, councils and tourist offices, libraries, parishes and youth centres, sports clubs, cultural associations. We check every request by hand.
Do people need to download the app?
Not to see the events: they are on your organisation's page on the website, which opens in any browser. To reply “I'm in”, people need the app, which is free.
Will I get the participants' data?
No. You only see how many people said “I'm in”, not who they are.
Can other people in my organisation publish too?
Yes: you can add up to three co-managers from your contacts who use orbiTome. They publish on behalf of the organisation.
How long does an event stay online?
It expires on its own, like every orbiTome event: at most six hours after it starts. Then it disappears from the map and, soon after, from the cloud. Your organisation's page stays, with the upcoming events.
