Getting Familiar with Bevy Virtual

Docker community leaders uses Bevy (https://events.docker.com) tool to conduct virtual Meetup events. Bevy is the tool that provides the MOST features to your Community, including:

  • 2 way integration with Meetup.com (create your event in Bevy and it posts to your meetup page and RSVPs from your event on meetup sync with your Bevy events.docker.com page). Note: The RSVP limits you set in Bevy do not translate to meetup. The best way to handle this is to keep a watchful eye on both platforms or communicate that seats are first come first serve.

  • Ability to check in guests.

  • Mobile App

  • RSVP as Guest

  • Forms / Surveys

  • Automatic Emails (customizable)

It’s important for all community leaders to be familiar with this tool to conduct virtual events successfully.
