Three ways to build.

Start with whatever fits — you can always add the others later.

Host a gathering

A single workshop, a weekly class, or a whole course — with payments built in.

Run a club

A group that meets again and again — members, discussions, and its own calendar.

A studio, nonprofit, or business — your whole operation, team, and revenue in one place.

Path one

Host a gathering

Whether it meets once or every week, every tool to run it and get paid lives in one dashboard — from a single walk to a multi-session course.

Start a gathering

Create & run

  • One-time & recurring

    A single workshop or a schedule that repeats on its own.

  • Series & courses

    Multi-session arcs with course mode for real enrollments.

  • Co-hosts

    Invite a partner to plan and run it alongside you.

  • Bulk upload

    Import a whole season of gatherings in one pass.

  • Embed widget

    Drop your live calendar onto your own website.

Your participants

  • Applications

    Screen who joins with your own custom questions.

  • Attendance & check-in

    Mark who showed up, with check-in at the door.

  • People

    Every attendee in one roster — your audience, not ours.

  • Gathering Circles

    A private group chat for each gathering you run.

  • Reviews

    Collect ratings and testimonials that build trust.

Earn & grow

  • Native bookings

    Take payment at checkout — 5% plus Stripe, free events free.

  • Earnings & payouts

    Paid straight to your bank account through Stripe.

  • Discounts & promo codes

    Run launch deals, comps, and member-only rates.

  • Invitations

    Bring the people you already know along with you.

  • Analytics

    See attendance, repeat rate, and who keeps coming back.

  • Find learners

    Reach neighbors already searching for what you do.

Path two

Run a club

Build something that recurs. A club gets its own page, membership controls, discussion boards, and an events calendar that keeps people coming back.

Start a club

Set it up

  • Branding

    Logo, cover, and a club page at your own clean URL.

  • Visibility & join policy

    Public or private; open, approval, or invite-only.

  • Roles

    Admins, organizers, and members with the right access.

  • Cross-listing

    Surface your club across GatherNearby and ClubsNearby.

Keep it going

  • Club events

    Your own recurring calendar, RSVPs included.

  • Discussions

    Threaded boards so the conversation never stops.

  • Resources

    Share files, links, and reading lists with members.

  • Announcements

    Broadcast an update to every member at once.

Members

  • Invite links & codes

    Share a link or a join code anywhere you like.

  • Member management

    Approve, promote, or remove members in a tap.

  • Approval queue

    Review requests before anyone gets in.

  • Transfer ownership

    Hand the club off cleanly when it is time.

Path three

Run everything under one verified roof. Org owners get a team, a built-in CRM, paid memberships, venues, and roll-up analytics across every program.
