Private Events vs Public Events vs Invite-Only Events

The visibility setting is part of the plan. A dinner, conference meetup, and public gathering should not all behave the same way.

How to choose the right event visibility for dinners, meetups, conferences, and community plans.

Use private events when you want the final say

Private events are discoverable, but joining requires the host's approval, so the plan can be findable without the guest list being open.

This is the default mode for new events, and it fits dinners, friend gatherings, team meetups, and small professional circles.

Use invite-only events when the guest list must not travel

Invite-only events are visible only to the people the host invites, and those invitations can only go to Droozi members.

This is a strong fit for founder dinners, alumni gatherings, or small conference side events where the list itself is sensitive.

Use public events when discovery helps

Public events make sense when reach is the goal: community meetups, open gatherings, or events that benefit from being found.

If an event depends on trust, a private or invite-only setting usually feels better.

Choose visibility before promotion

Before sharing a link, decide who should see the details, who can RSVP, and whether the event should be discoverable.

That decision protects the host, the guests, and the quality of the gathering.
