Private and Public Groups in the Mobile App
Attendees can use the run.events mobile app to create private and public chat groups or easily join existing public groups that interest them. This feature empowers you to self-organize, network around shared interests, and communicate more effectively throughout the event.
Accessing Groups
As an attendee, you can access both private and public groups through the mobile app.
To view or manage groups in the mobile app:

The Groups tab displays all public groups available for you to join, as well as the groups you are already a member of.
Public groups appear automatically in the Groups tab. You can browse these groups and join any that interest you with a single tap. Once joined, you can participate in discussions, contribute to conversations, and stay informed on group activities.
