Events

A second path to matching, grounded in real shared experiences.

Rome events let members find and view upcoming events, and show interest before the event begins. We want to encourage and enable users to find real life events and places where they might be able to meet and interact.

After the event, users will be able to submit evidence of their attendance. This acts as another signal that is fed into matching alongside the core proximity-based model.

That makes events a fallback too: if someone forgot to turn on Bluetooth, or even downloaded the app after the event had already passed, a verified shared event can still create a meaningful path to connection.

Events view

Rome events screen showing upcoming events and location filters.

Browse and show interest

Members can explore upcoming events in the app, filter them by place, and raise their hand before the event begins.

How it fits

Events complement proximity rather than replacing it.

Before the event

Members can browse, filter, and show interest in upcoming events they genuinely want to attend.

During the event

The privacy-first proximity model still works whenever discovery is enabled.

After the event

Verified attendance gives the product another durable signal for matching, even after the moment itself has passed.
