All details of each event are shown, including a Google Map, and attachments. The event's program will be supported in a future release (we will inform members when this is available).

 

Availability

Members can indicate their availability for any event (as long as that event has attendance/availability tracking enabled). They can do that from each event's screen, or event from the List View, where they can see all upcoming events as well as their own availability:

 

Push Notifications
