How it works

From listing to regulars.

  1. 01List your event

    Add your poster, dates and ticket link. Once it’s live, it appears on the map in the app and on hilltops.app. Listing is free.

  2. 02Reach people nearby

    Your followers are notified when your event goes live. To reach new people, promote it to members near it. You see the reach and the cost before you pay.

  3. 03They show up together

    People can start Rooms and event chats around your event, so newcomers can meet others before they arrive.

  4. 04Bring them back

    Your channel keeps the conversation going between events, and a quick QR survey tells you what to do more of next time.

What you get

Everything you need to grow a crowd that sticks.

Built into the Hilltops app, where people find what's on near them.

Rooms

One plan becomes a group.

“Watch the footy”, “try pickleball”. People can start a Room around your event and invite others to come along, so one person’s plan can turn into a group.

Creating a Room in the Hilltops app: “What’s the plan? I want to… watch the footy”

Discovery

Your events sit on the map where people look for something to do. Followers are notified when a new event goes live.

Event Promotions

Reach beyond your followers.

Send your event to members near it, filtered by age or gender if you like. Your followers are free; you only pay for new people reached, from a top-up wallet.

FAQ

Common questions

Three ways. Your events show up on the map for people nearby. Your followers are notified when your events go live. And people can start Rooms around your event, so it’s easier to bring friends or meet others going.
Listing your events is free, and venues list their first venue free. Hilltops Pro puts your venues on the map in the app and adds unlimited community channels, extra venues and Bio Links Pro. Event Promotions run on a top-up wallet: you pay only for new people reached, and your followers are free.
We approve hosts whose events are genuinely social, places where strangers can become regulars: • Open social events: run clubs, book clubs, comedy nights, language exchanges, mixers, open mics, leagues, classes. • Venues that host them: bars, clubs, live music venues, sports venues, studios. • Inclusive members' events with a clear audience: 30+, women-only, sober, beginner-only. Private-only, table-service-only and transactional events without a social hook aren't a fit right now.
Apply online and we’ll review your application. Once you’re approved, set up your profile and add your first event from the portal.
