Great to read all your experiences of organising events 
Used to organise a Monthly meeting as well in my city. So I’m pretty aware of which functions are missing now but as I’m designing some wireframes for the events for Couchers I’m curious from you all to hear what you’re missing in way of functionality in the current event function of CS? For sure I’m missing some 
So far included which is not standard on CS (and of course still to discuss):
- tags
- possible to directly add a co-host/organiser
- possible to invite contacts and search them by name, city or a list you can create
- possible to select directly all contacts by name, city or list
- possible to create events in the app
@Emily wondering if it would be good to include your great tips as a handbook or so?
