MyEvents
Project Overview
Every day, the University of Adelaide and its student clubs host dozens of events-from social mixers and pub crawls to career expos and skill-building workshops. These activities are scattered across Instagram, Facebook and various faculty websites, making it difficult for students-especially first‑years - to stay informed. As a result, many valuable opportunities are missed.
MyEvents is a centralized, university‑focused platform (think Eventbrite for Adelaide Uni) that enables verified students and staff to:
- Discover and browse upcoming events
- Search, filter and explore rich event details
- Register or purchase (free and on-site paid) tickets
- Create and publish their own events
With MyEvents, everyone in our community can easily find and participate in the experiences that matter to them.
