Host on Zonori
Zonori lists events that its members organise, and some public events from organisers' own pages, labelled "Listed by Zonori". If you already run something weekly — a class, a run, a sit, a social, a game night — it belongs in the circle it is about.
What it costs: nothing. Hosting on Zonori is free, and it has never cost a host anything.
What we take from your door: nothing. Zonori does not organise events, sell tickets, or handle payment. If your event is paid, you keep your own ticket link and your own door, and you keep all of it.
What you sign: nothing. There is no contract, no exclusivity, and no partnership.
What you get
Your event appears in the circle it belongs to, in front of people in that circle in your city — including people who found the circle rather than you. Your name is on it as the host. The listing shows who's going, which is what a first-timer looks at before deciding to walk into a room alone. If your event has a limit, Zonori holds the waiting list in the order people joined it.
One link for everything you host. Your profile has its own page on zonori.app. It lists your public events in the coming weeks, soonest first, each with its circle's name. Put that link in your bio once and it keeps itself current: a new event appears once it's approved, and each one drops off when it ends. Find it in the app under You → Your public page → Share link. The address ends in your handle; if you change your handle, your old link keeps opening your page for 90 days unless you turn that off. People who open it see each event's day, time, place and circle, and can add it to their calendar or open it in the app. Private events, and events in circles that aren't shown on the web, never appear on it. There's nothing to follow: in the days before your next event, people who were checked in at one of your recent events see it near the top of Home, when it's in a circle they're in.
How to post one
Get the app, verify your phone number, join the circle your event belongs to, and post it. Every new event is reviewed against our community guidelines before anyone else sees it, and you get a push with the result. You can add a flyer, and a link to your own tickets if you sell them.
Already listed somewhere else? Paste the link and review it. When you create an event, choose Import from a link: Zonori reads the title, the time, the place and the flyer from that page and fills in the form for you. Check it, fix anything it got wrong, and post it. It's reviewed like any other event.
Only list events you run yourself. Whoever posts an event is its host of record: their name is on it, shown to everyone who sees it. That goes for an imported event too. Posting an event you did not organise is against the guidelines. If you know someone whose night belongs here, send them this page instead.
The one exception is Zonori itself. The account named Zonori lists some public events from organisers' own public pages, labelled "Listed by Zonori" and naming who runs them, and every one of them can be claimed or removed by its organiser. Members still post only their own events.
Already listed by Zonori? Claim it. If one of your events is on Zonori labelled "Listed by Zonori", you can claim it for free and it becomes yours: you're its host, you'll see who's going, check people in at your door and get a recap afterwards. The same page lets you fix a detail or remove the listing instead.
On the night
For people arriving alone. Name a meeting point and a person, and say at the start that some people came alone. People can mark that it's their first time when they RSVP, so you know who to greet: they have First time beside their name in Who's here. Marking it is their choice, and only the people going and the event's hosts can see it.
Check people in as they arrive. Tap names in Who's here as people arrive — it's how they find each other tomorrow. The next morning, everyone who was checked in sees who else was there, and they stay on each other's Met list with your event as the place they met. Check-in opens 30 minutes before the start and closes when the event ends. As your event starts, Zonori sends you a reminder that opens Who's here, and anyone already at the venue can check themselves in from the event.
After your event
When it ends, you get a recap: one screen with how many people checked in, how many were new to you, and how many had never been to anything in the circle before. That last one counts across the whole circle in your city, not just your own guest list, so it tells you something a head count at the door can't. If people marked it as their first time, or came through someone's invite link, the recap says how many.
It counts the people who were checked in, so the more names you tap on the night, the truer it is. It never names anyone and never shows who didn't come. Open it from your Home after the event, or from the event itself; it's one screen, made to be screenshotted if you want to share it.
Circles are interests, not brands
A circle is a general interest — "Latin Dancing", "Running" — and nobody owns one. There is no "[Your Studio] circle" and there never will be. Your name appears where it is true: as the host, and as the place it is happening.
A chapter can have hosts, and a chapter host is a role, not ownership. It can be given to someone else or taken back, and it gives you no rights in the circle, its members, or anything they post.
Three templates you can use
Everything below is yours to copy, change and send under your own name. None of it is from Zonori and none of it needs our permission.
If you need a room
Copy this, change what you like, and send it yourself. It isn't from Zonori and it doesn't mention us more than it has to — it's yours.
Subject: A recurring community night at [venue], filled by people already doing it I'm [name]. I run [my weekly night] here in [city]. I list it on an app called Zonori. It's free — people join circles like Latin Dancing or Running, see what's on this week, and see who else from the circle is going. What I'd like to ask you for: [day] evening in [space], recurring, for [n] people. What you'd get: · A recurring night that fills from the circles nearest it, not from ads. · Your space named as the location on every listing of it. · The listing shows who's going, which is what a first-timer looks at before walking into a place they've never been. · No fee, no commission, no contract, no exclusivity. Nothing to sign. What I'm not asking for: money, sponsorship, or a partnership agreement. The app doesn't sell tickets and doesn't handle payments. If the night is paid, I collect at the door as I already do. If it's easier, come to the next one first: [details].
A note before you send it: no revenue share, no exclusivity, no written agreement. Those are the things that turn a listing into a deal. If a venue wants a commercial arrangement, that is between you and them.
Getting your event into your city's listings
Some city guides list events for free and choose what to run. It's about your event, not about us, so you send it, under your own name. Time Out Bangkok, for example, lists events for free and takes submissions by email.
Use the guide's own submission page for the current address and what it asks for (for Time Out Bangkok: timeout.com/bangkok/get-listed). Time Out Bangkok's listings are editorial: they choose what to run, and there is nothing to pay anyone, in either direction.
You need a public URL for the event before it is worth sending.
Subject: Listing: [event], [venue], [day] Hello, Submitting a recurring event. What: [event] — [one line] Where: [venue, street, district] When: [day], [time], [weekly / monthly], from [date] Price: [free / price at the door] Organiser: [your name], [your Instagram] Photo: [link] Thanks, [your name]
Getting your event onto a scene calendar
Many scenes keep hand-built calendars — run clubs, salsa socials, board-game nights — kept by people who don't run any of the events on them. They are usually happy to add a recurring one.
Find the calendar for your scene, use whatever contact or submission form the site itself gives, and send it yourself. In Bangkok, for example, runclubbangkok.com lists run clubs, and where-to-dance-salsa.com lists the weekly Latin socials. There will be others for yours.
What to give them: your event's own link, from the share button on your event in the app. It opens a public page with the time, the place and who's hosting, and anyone can add it to their own calendar from there. If a calendar covers everything on in your city rather than one scene, it can subscribe to your city's feed instead, which keeps itself up to date. Its address is zonori.app/cal/city/ followed by your city and .ics — for Bangkok, webcal://zonori.app/cal/city/bangkok.ics (or https://zonori.app/cal/city/bangkok.ics for tools that want a plain link). It carries the public events listed in that city for the week ahead. The calendar inside your circle is private to its members, so it isn't one to hand out.
Subject: Recurring [scene] event for the calendar: [event], [day] Hello, I run [event] in [district], [day]s at [time], [weekly / monthly], from [date]. [Free / price at the door]. Details and the current dates: [your event's link]. Happy for you to add it to the calendar. If you'd like a photo or a line of description, tell me what format you want. Thanks, [your name]
